It is, and the lag can't be controlled, especially by something automated. We currently have threads being closed and reopened without any logic behind it.
I tried to befriend it but Thread Manager is always business!
bots don't want to be friends
WTF threads with 3 thousand posts are getting closed? WTF is the point? Why not close them down after a thousand? Why not 10 pages?
Even with the thread manager is still not getting any better.
