It was brought up by mods in r/wsb how you guys were having to scramble to deal with the technical issues of having extremely busy live threads being used as large form public chat rooms.
Can you expand on that at all from your perspective? What were some of the challenges? And has that experience given you reason to look into alternative solutions (subreddit chatrooms, for example) to possibly be implemented to the site?

It's not just live threads, it's any extremely active thread that hits large post numbers hurts their backend. R/CFB splits up some game threads to help with this, the general rule of thumb seems to be that for maximum stability you want threads being replaced somewhere around 10-12k comments.
