However the watered down argument dominated by a few posters is not without merit on its own. So I am a bit on a fence on this matter.

They create other threads which spring up, but I wouldn't say they dominate the board to a problematic level.

I second this with more emphasis. If we got rid of megathreads we’d probably have about 100 different threads of people talking about the same thing without even knowing about it. Clumping together similar topics is important because it helps reduce the clogging of the forums and the amount of threads the moderators have to check whenever there’s an issue.

No.
As a regular poster on the uk politics megathread you must know the wildly varying things that are discussed on it. The only connection that they have is that they're happening in the UK.

As do many of the other threads.
Now imagine that all those individual topics all got their own individual threads every single time even the slightest thing happened.
The boards would be a complete clusterfuck, which is exactly why megathreads are a thing to begin with.

By clusterfuck, you mean more varied, right? There was a time without megathreads, you know. It was better.

But was it better because of the lack of Megathreads? Or did other factors play a role?
The one thing I noticed about Megathreads they are somewhat exclusionist towards outsiders as they tend to have their own sub-communities and regulars.

Exactly. Anti-gun people are quite a rarety in the gun control megathread.

Speaking about: I recall several shooting spree threads having been closed due derailment as discussions drifted into the gun control debate. Apparently the presence of the Gun-Control Thread did not prevent this from happening.

The vast majority of the time they are related to UK politics. I'd rather have that all in one place, as I don't have the time to constantly scan NSGeneral for anything and everything related to UK politics in the event that the megathread is closed.
