I guess you could maybe argue for a software that auto-collapses all threads that contain no new replies so you can just read the expanded threads on new visits, but I’ve never seen a forum that does that because the very sites that would see the need for such a feature aren’t using threaded discussion at all. It’s actually impossible to come up with something worse. You basically have to look at every single post to find the new ones. Have you ever tried reading a threaded discussion and then coming back to it? (reading only direct replies to you does not count) It’s awful. As a result I had a particular interest in at least scanning all new replies. The thread itself was also about a competition which I participated in. For some background, the top-voted comment is by me, about a github repo I started relevant to the subject of the thread.
