How much longer is discussion about 5 separate topics going to occur in one thread? Am I the only one who thinks this is an ineffective way of communicating?
Probably forever. I like it. This place is like a noisy and boisterous pub full of interesting people, a fun place to be.

+1. Absolutely.
Sometimes you want to go... where NOBODY knows your real name...
All joking aside, there's no reason why this thread couldn't still exist for general chatter. I think it's just as entertaining as you all, but I just don't think it's conducive to moving the project along as fast as it can go. As others have brought up, there's some fierce competition coming soon from Ethereum et al. Regardless of what you think about how they are structured with "heads" or "corporate leaders", I can guarantee they are organized in the sense that I am talking about: effective and efficient use of information, human and capital resources. I honestly think keeping big topic discussions going on in one thread is the equivalent of 50 people in one room shouting trying to get things done. Yes, it's possible to progress this way, but not as quickly and focused as they can be if discussion was held in dedicated threads.
I've yet to hear why others think keeping discussion about voting, marketing, client problems, when Cryptsy will add, a social network, what the LTB 1 minute spot will sound like, the rate of NXT/BTC, Bitcoin Miami updates, etc in ONE thread is a more effective way of communication rather than having dedicated topics for example:
Topic
Description
Progress Update
Timeline
Problems That Need Solutions
Bounties
