"I wanted to suggest that there could be a separate comment thread for each secret, but someone already suggested it and there was a concern about loading times.

I would rather bear the longer loading times for separate comment threads for each secret than painstakingly search for responses to specific secrets on each page of comments (and then going back to look if anyone's responded since last check).

There are other benefits as well:
- Questions about a specific secret (Eg. What episode is this secret from?) can be answered once for everyone without being repeatedly asked and answered over the course of 10+ pages.
- It could encourage people to comment on a secret that doesn't have any comments yet.
- It would save the Ctrl and F buttons of keyboards everywhere.

Could there at least be a poll about this suggestion please?"

Oh goddd, am I the only person who LIKES ctrl+F-ing through a bunch of comment pages, seeing everyone's crazyrandom thoughts about other secrets as I go? This idea seems like a whole bunch of work to organize. I really like being able to post comments with multiple secrets in them, seriously - plus if you have a couple of controversial secrets in one thread and everyone's commenting and replying to comments and debating in that thread, it'll be huge and disgusting, more like an anon meme than a treasure hunt.

but that is just me, idk. Don't we already have Week In Review? What if you tried secret threads in there? That means if you have a secret you're just dying to talk about it'll make things more organized there, while the original secrets post won't have a friggin' massive loading time.

I originally was going to agree, then I realised that if the seperate threads for each secret are done for Week in Review, won't there have to be like 7x50+ threads? >.> That's really not helping.....

Phbhth, yeah, you're right. Didn't think of that. But again, not every secret gets replied to anyway. To me, it seems like having those threads for one post alone would just add clutter. Not to mention being way time-consuming.

NO, you're NOT the only one. I like scrolling through a page of comments, seeing the replies, and then "Hey, cool! Someone commented on mine!" and while I'm at it, seeing the comments for other secrets as well, that I probably would've ignored otherwise...

I really hope it doesn't change. :(
