Speaking as somebody who regularly checks the Board (every few hours or so), I've noticed something.

The badfic thread is huge. As of 19:40 (my time), the front page of the Board had a total of 533 posts. This is roughly 22 pages worth of scrolling. The badfic thread alone has 142 posts. This roughly (excuse my horrible math skills) 25% of the total posts on the Board. That is a lot of posts.

Now, I know that we have reasons for posting all the badfic posts in one thread, and I see most of them as being good ones. However, well, 142 posts is a lot. For me, this is five screens worth of scrolling, which can be annoying when I'm looking for new posts further down.

I don't know if I'm the only one who has a problem with this, so I guess I'd like to put forth a couple of questions.

1) Is the badfic thread too long?
2) Should we have some standards for badfic thread lengths before we start a new one?
3) If so, what should they be?
