I think it will be more like 50+ threads this year if 270+ pages was the peak last year. There will be more hurricane watchers in 2006.
It's pretty much impossible to navigate through 50+ threads about the same subject even with search tools.
Maybe a new thread for each category change in the storm would work better.
First, this type of conversation should go in the "Talkin' Tropics New Format" thread. Secondly, the thread limitations are to help the server load. Everytime someone opens a 270+ page thread, each post has to load up. If this is multiplied by hundreds of users each minute, imagine the load on the server. Third, a majority of information in past threads are obsolete. For the bulk of the information that would warrant a look after-the-fact can easily be accomplished through the search function. Finally, all the past threads are linked in the initial post of each thread. It's not that difficult to research previous threads.
