It's sad that this thread has been merged with this one
I wholeheartedly agree with this point. Far too often the moderators are way too trigger-happy about merging any new threads that even extremely tangentially reference certain topics (like party size for example). They claim it is about grouping it all in one place, but I see it as banishing certain discussions to a purgatory-like location because even the tiniest of references to those certain topics is something they don't like.
