That is clearly not a valid argument. Spears has nothing to do with forum management at all, and 4chan doesn't manage their forums at all (more or less). All other forums use the same standard set of rules with slight changes. Content of the forums have nothing to do with how they are managed, computer gaming forums, classical music forums and various other topics all use this same standard sets of rules.Not all forums are the same. They range from the likes of the BBC forums to the likes of 4chan, and they are managed in entirely different ways. Besides, if we were here to do what everybody does, then we should be listening to Britney Spears, as was recently suggested by one of our beloved spammers.
Having all these threads on the same (or extremely similar) topics is not bad on it's own, but it dwarfs other topics and hinders communication - the main purpose of forums.
If someone wants to make a new forum for these types of discussions tonight go ahead, I'll be making one tomorrow if no one else does (I don't have time tonight).
