This thread is much more lively, and allows for seamless integration of dynamic posting and reacting. I.e. if someone posts here, and I want to respond with a picture, I will do it here, and I get positive affirmation based on reaction experience.
Also, when someone posts any kind of visual content here it serves as a good respite of endless walls of lore text speculation, they're nice in some amount, but get tiring really easy.
The zombie-thread is good for people who are not really interested in interacting with community thread, or for big posts I guess. Anyways, it's too heavy of a load to carry on my shoulders alone.
