da longer pages might make it seem like that, but its definitely has to do with da amount of post content we're losing to da abyss of that randomness.
If that were the case, you'd have made this post in June. The biggest change to General in the last 60 days has been the move to 50 topics per page, and that creates exactly the effect you're describing.
Since so many words have been wasted already, let's talk numbers instead.
This thread was on the front page for most of the day yesterday:
http://niketalk.com/t/507734/dmx-uses-google-for-the-first-time
It was last updated at 6:13 am est.
It was passed by over 130 different topics today.
As a result, it's now near the bottom of page 3. On the old board, it would've fallen to page 7.
That's not enough for you? I don't know where you've been, but that's roughly as fast-moving as the General forum was before the "thread about nothing."
In contrast, a thread on the Jordan brand last updated at 8am est is still on page ONE. So, clearly, the Jordan Brand forum is NOT moving faster than the General forum, either.
