Firstly they are an absolute nightmare to moderate. Every other post in them someone is being called a **** or told to **** off. Too much moderating has to go into it, and I'd rather the mods didn't have to check those 2 threads every few mins especially while the BB forum is going to be overloaded.
I also feel threads like that turn away new members when they see them, especially with some of the lanuage and insults being used. I know you might only mean it as a joke or whatever, but to someone who doesn't know that it gives the wrong impression of the forum.
Lastly large threads that are being refreshed every 3-4 seconds like the Zeta and BH are, are a strain on the server. I'd rather during BB (at least the beginning week) to make sure the server is going to cope with the traffic OK. Maybe after week 1 is out the way we can see about re-opening them, but people will have to quit the insults and rudeness
