While I share your concerns and frustrations, you basic premise is flawed. This site has significant value regardless of its performance on high volume live threads. Over the twelve years I have been here, I have had many of my original opinions confirmed and have gained different ways of looking at things.

Having said that, I have always found the live threads extraordinarily interesting and entertaining. To not be able to access them is a great disappointment to me. But that does NOT change the other values of the site.

I'm already dreading inaccessibility on election night. But I do believe the owners are doing everything they can to change that. There would be no motive not to. No one benefits by what has happened in the debates.

Just don't throw out the baby with the bath water.

Exactly. Those live threads are fun, but they're rarely of any real analytic value.
