Plus, I go in there and there are soooooo many threads I want/need to read, it's just too intimidating and I end up reading none.......But I miss catching up with what people are up to. Before it changed, I would still miss things, but I'd catch some because there were comments in other threads, or because the thread title would catch my eye.
This is what I'm worried about with the PDA. The fragmentation of the board with non-PDA content that should be in Main/Pictures/GCC is only a part of it. Additionally, the huge number of posts in the PDA makes it hard to spot true announcements. So the section loses some of its original purpose.
If it was someone I didn't know, or a subject I didn't want to read about, I'd just close the thread and go elsewhere.
That works with 3-4 threads, but not when the majority of them are of the kind you don't want to read.
