Well, actually. I have my reservations about it since the old thread might most likely be closed/locked in lieu of the new one. IMO, this is a BAD thing since the formatting for several tons of stuff will no longer be accessible for quoting, etc. to be transferred into the new one.
Of course, leaving both threads open is also not very practical, as confusion would abound... urgh...
Though it's also a matter of pride for being the biggest in Animesuki, just as Keroko mentioned.
