Not really - s1lv3r did specifically say that the other thread is for highscores, whereas this one is for discussion of the powerball itself.

Looks like neither you, or Graham bothered to read the highscore thread, where I specifically wanted the highscores to remain uncluttered by random posts.
Secondly, it has already had the watchful eye of Chris T over it, surely any issue with merging would have been highlighted by him when he looked at it. I take his in-action in that sense as a sign of approval to be honest.
In general, I think this thread is an exception to the rule, as personally I'm very much in favour of keeping thread numbers to a minimum.
However, I have seen many instances on other forums where an information thread and a discussion thread are kept seperate, which can work very effectively.
I don't think we need to address policy, and as normal members, it's not our job to do so, unless mods specifically ask for our input.
It's been done to death elsewhere, why waste time and effort stirring it up again when it's not going to change anything.

Re: Powerball
I can't help thinking this discussion wouldn't be happening if we had not decided to publish our 'gentle reminder' thread this week. 
The Powerball Highscores thread will remain, for exactly the same reason we don't insist on using the same thread every time someone feels like running a quiz: posts would get lost or confused otherwise. The highscores thread contains absolutely nothing but the current best score by a CF member, where it can easily be referred to and where a new highscore can easily be seen.
Now, given that we are on an on-topic drive this week, can we please stop grumbling about this. If anyone has a serious gripe they can PM any of the team. I will be deleting any further off-topic posts from this thread.

I'm sorry Graham but there are certain contractual obligations that you entered into when you signed up here on CF, it's in the S/Mall print but your professional services are sometimes required
