Stouty22 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 What is a megathread on these forums? Is it a certain number of posts? Or is it a topic that is really popular? Or maybe even a combination of both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkenbagel Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 A megathread is a thread that is created through the merging of many many threads that pertain to the same topic. Take Star Chart 2.0 for example. In an effort to clean up the forums, mods and administrators merged all topics pertaining to the upcoming Star Chart into a "Star Chart 2.0 Megathread."

AM-Bunny Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 It's usually when there are numerous threads on a single topic, and all the threads get merged into one. All subsequent threads on the topic also get merged into the megathread. It consumes all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 When there is a large topic pertaining to a single topic that is popularized on the forums, threads regarding that topic are merged into a single "Megathread" by the moderator or DE staff. The tag "Megathread" in a topic title, to define the topic, is exclusive for the use of the forum staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
