Driud Thread Separations

I really miss the old Megathreads, anyone have an opinion on organizing this into four lines: Healing, Moonkin, Feral DPS, and Feral Tanking threads? Actually finding information and responding to questions and such has become a real mess as of late. . .

Megathreads resulted in the same questions being asked over and over and over because people either did not read the first post (because it was so large?) or did not want to read through 600 posts in order to find an answer to their question.

The whole point of the class forums was so if you had a question about say Feral tanking gear you could easily find a topic devoted to that discussion and where you could quickly find the information you would need rather than "pretending" to read through a megathread and not find your answer (which tended to be on the previous page).

The original intent of splitting the class forums was to provide a place to discuss individual issues (such as, for example, which eclipse variant is better). The TTT is supposed to fulfil the role of providing a base of knowledge that is agreed upon. Unfortunately a lot of classes do not have articles, or their articles are out of date, which has led to the forums being a mish-mash of smaller topics and larger topics.
