Now, that has changed and everyone (virtually) can watch. I think it should be geared toward game discussion, but the sad fact is most people cannot discuss a game without the thread degenerating into insults and balance whine.

I agree pretty much exactly, I hate LR threads with a passion minus the few good people in them. The only time I like them right now is when I'm watching a stream and other events of interest to me are occurring simultaneously. In that case live updates are awesome.
