If anyone actually legitimately remembers what it was like back when the comments were enabled omg it was a nightmare...

So many people were commenting opinions aboutt he page when a talk page is meant to talk about the article and fix it up. Some wikis still use it to this day and have survived, there's no reason why we can't too.

"It'd just turn out like it did with the comments. You know how people are.

If anyone actually finds the talk pages..."

Less spam obviously and since people dun wanna sig we're best leaving them.

little reminders didn't hurt anybody y'know.

"Yet the boards and such are distinct from the talkpages, and unlike comments, they can be managed, closed (I think?), etc."

Yes, admins can close anything that remotely looks like a message wall, forum, message wall (lol) you name it. Closed/Removed is an option and they can be managed alot better. Comments are default and you can't manage them as easily scrolling through pages of junk.
