I appreciate your investment in the club! :) I definitely wasn't thinking about the history and legacy of it. I'm sorry for that and I should have explained with more clarity;
There will come a point that the thread will become too big, and that generally causes double posting, lagging, and other errors in the thread. While I'm moved by your compassion, please understand that this is a matter of user-forum experience and not at all coming from a desire to see a piece of PC's history destroyed.
Out of respect for you as the original owner, I'm giving you a heads-up here. While I will personally do everything in my power as a moderator to make sure the thread stays public and accessible, the thread will continue to reduce user experience the longer it goes and will eventually need to be remade.
I hope that you do choose to collect the history of that thread and use it as a platform to launch a new and greater one. If I've at all been unclear, please feel free to contact an administrator!
