As an aside, can you explain why 4chan threads always appear archived/closed? Do they hit some kind of post limit? Who closes them? Perhaps 4chan becomes easier to follow if one is on it frequently, but from an external observers viewpoint, the format looks busy and hard to follow at times.
Basically, bumping a thread with a post brings it back to the "frontpage". If threads dont get bumped up, other threads will eventually overwrite it. Though threres a bump limit. A thread cant be bumped anymore after 300-350 repliesn i dont know the xact number. You can still reply but without bumping the thread.
Use the catalog anyway. f5'ing page 1 is old way of browsing 4chan.
Thanks. I have to confess that the idea of monitoring 4chan in addition to VOAT for PG related information appears daunting. What is your general impression of the PG related information at 4chan? Are they discussing particular things that do not get discussed here, or is it safe to assume that the most critical information will inevitably find its way to VOAT?

They are digging up a bunch of interesting stuff disguised as spam emails

Threads get closed at a post limit, and when they get 'buried' by new threads (falls of page-something).
I think the format being harder to access is kind of the point, actually, not unlike how the content itself might keep most people on arm's length.

AFAIK they all automatically close after a set period of time.
