I am filled with a sense of wonderment that I have never, until now, encountered an article written as a sequence of forum posts!

(Yes, I have seen countless long comments split over a reply thread because the content was too long for a single comment/post. That's... different)

Thanks for posting (and writing) this



The Geeklist format seems to be unique to the Board Game Geek site. The site, at its core, is a large database of board games, and hey have made it amenable to collect entries into a list and comment on each one. Thanks for your encouragement, I agree, I will collect these into an article some day.

To be clear, I was not encouraging you to do this. (I'm not discouraging it either. I'm ambivalent.)

I just enjoy seeing people use media in new/unanticipated ways.

(That said, Twitter threads suck beyond a certain size (sixish). This is especially the case if the author intentionally decomposed an entire blog post/article into a sequence of 140-byte chunks. Write a fscking post/article and link to it from a Tweet; perhaps with a couple of threaded pull quotes.)
