In some forums moderators try to split off off-topic parts of a thread. But this has some disadvantages also.
There seems to be two different issues discussed in this thread. One is how to be able to efficiently select the threads you want to read. And the other is that it might be good if some threads stays more on topic.
The off-topic things have only bothered me occasionally but if the effect is less general discussions then this might be a problem. The first issue is the one that I have noticed most.
