Pit Stop Poll: How Should We Handle F1 Race Week Banter Threads

Given the huge popularity of the F1 race banter thread this past week, I want to make it even better.

Some members have a legitmate complaint about a single banter thread being too long and hard to follow. At the same time, a single thread keeps thing efficient and in one place.

Multiple threads would keep the discussion compartmentalized but would also spawn the same discussions across many threads.

A chat room may be a great solution. I am not sure if we can do this, but if we had enough interest I could probably make it happen. The only real downsides here are that the entries are not logged for posterity and we can't jack up our post count.

Please vote for the option you guys think is best.

Thanks!

Dana

I voted for no1. A chatroom would be great, there are some easy programs/clients that are very user friendly and "loggable". IRC for example.
