> [@Loach](#): > > As far as I can see with a quick look there are currently 3 active omnibus threads, all of them are in the Pit. (4 if you want to count the monthly mini-rant thread) None of them have been mandated as the only place to discuss the particular issues of each thread. I don’t know of any other omnibus threads (counting the GoT hiatus thread as one would be pushing it I think). I don’t see it as much of a problem here. There are other non-Pit threads that get resurrected from time to time, often with the word “On-going” in their thread titles. That long-running On-Going General Aviation thread, for example. Others have been very long-running but eventually peter out and get forgotten, like that long-running Dating Thread a while back. Sometimes they end up getting closed. That semi-infinite thread about the value of 0.999… finally got closed after All Of Shakespeare’s Monkeys had typed out all possible words on the subject and a somewhat trollish newcomer jumped in. In that thread, I posted a [little essay questioning whether a thread that is 99.999999…% complete can ever be considered 100% complete](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=15501607#post15501607). > [@.999 = 1?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/999-1/27517/771): > > According to ancient Hindu prophecy, when this thread reaches the state of perfect completion, then all posters, computers, the SDMB message board (indeed, ALL message boards), and infinitesimal numbers will all vanish, and in a great thunderclap the universe will end. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/please-lock-this-pit-thread/735904)._
