i hate game-wide catch-all logs with a passion. i like to be able to find my threads easily when i want to go back and read them. i also want to be able to load the page without a problem. in some of the larger games, there are so many comments the page takes forever to load and the formatting is all screwed up because the threads extend too far to the right. plus echoing all the things the other anons said: the rush to get on the first page, getting overlooked because there are a million other people and after a while even people looking to tag in randomly get overwhelmed, the unwieldiness.

years ago, catch-alls weren't a thing. people used to actually make logs of their own volition and those logs used to get a lot of comments. now players expect the mods to do all the work setting everything up and make little "my character is going x, y, and z here. come bug them" non-starters that pass the buck to anyone who wants to tag them. it's annoying. i'm glad there's a game that's willing to buck the trend and do away with them for events.
