I think it would be a huge shame if this thread got removed; sure there is a lot of low quality posts during the last 1000 pages but as it was said it that is pretty normal for LR threads.
A mod note on top and normal posting rules once Blizzcon actually starts would be enough imo. Don't think it would be too confusing for the "casual" LR poster; Blizzcon is a very special event and deserves the hype !

Although it isn't just Zealously (who is personally against this decision) but the whole TL Staff
edit: and I agree with the post above me. This thread went way overboard but it's better than a small, hypeless thread ; and there were some quality hype content in the middle of the mud

What is problem having mod note? None.

Honestly, it's not like the "normal" people will read through the 1k pages anyway... so what's the harm in them being there. They'll just jump to the last page to see what's going on and follow from there.
Then again... we'll be getting a new LR as soon as day 1 games are over anyway....
I'm not happy about that this thread being renamed or closed... It's a lot of fun and we'll be able to reference it to some degree in all the "real" LR threads anyway...
YOU MAY TAKE OUR THREADS, BUT YOU CANNOT TAKE MY PASSSSIOOONNNNNN!!!!!!

Rules weren't enforced because we know the LR regulars enjoy tangentially related off-topic discussions and everything that goes with it. I think you're being unfair in saying that "it's not our fault rules weren't enforced". No, obviously we're responsible for enforcing rules and could have dropped the hammer on people making eleven posts in a row of filling entire pages with posts no longer than 8 characters. We figured there was no harm in letting things run like this for a while before the biggest tournament of the year, but the majority of staff members agree that this thread isn't practical for the actual purpose of being an LR thread dedicated to the tournament itself.

No, I get it, TL just have the same opinions on casual users as Blizzard. Any deviation from the established norm at all is far too confusing and scary to casuals who have no brain power at all. This thread will get locked for the same reason that FF's were never changed, it would scare casuals and drive them away forever.

Why isn't it practical though? Because it has a lot of posts before? All tournament threads are usually started a little early and have some posts before the event starts. This really is no different besides the number of pages. It's not conventional, but I wouldn't say it isn't practical either. No one reads the early pages once the tournament begins

I agree. Clicking on the bigger number is equally hard if this number is 54 or 1577.

Was wondering this as well - The front page still shows the results etc just as a normal LR thread would. Other than that I just click to the latest page, it does not really matter if its 10 or 1000 pages in between. I think I would be far more shocked if I went to a Blizzcon thread and saw it had 15 pages instead of this thread for what is supposed to be the biggest event of the year.

Yeah, that's implied. If I had to guess how it worked on the mod/admin side, they all came to the conclusion (at around page 50) that this thread isn't gonna be kept for the actual event. And then one of them was chosen to just let the posters know about that.
