Thats true but I dont think its a big deal having those threads that dont get many responses, usually the OP will get the support/advice then the thread dies.
Say if someone is worried about halls it would actually be a lot easier to search for a thread specific to that issue than sift through the uni thread for advice. (Thats based on a member who maybe is too shy to post in the uni thread for advice.)
