We're not talking about threads that are 27 pages long, it's just that they don't read the fucking comments on the first page.
I'm not the check thread you're talking about, but I know there are a really large number of such. I'm pretty sure that in those 27 pages, at least 50% of the posts repeat the same thing or something that was said but in a different way. I'm also pretty sure that no one or maybe very few users will read part of the discussion that takes place there.
Such threads led the managers to introduce a rule of not accepting posts in mega threads even after 5-7 pages.
