for the knowledge of everyone, which you can treat as history class: I started the update threads to organize past updates instead of them getting lost to pastebin, which was used in the very early days. We needed to have something within wikia to contain the update archive.

This means the update threads were not meant to compete the RU page. However, many wikia issues came up that made us stray away. There was a time when admins complained about the trash comments in RU page, and I am one of the people against putting restrictions on commenting on RU. So I suggested, I will just highlight the update threads so they know they should post their comment on the thread, not on the RU page, while keeping RU unrestricted. This "probably" led to the update threads being a popular reading place as they are to RU.

during my time, what I was doing, which we can still apply today:
 * detailed into in Recent Upates page (lists with sublists and links). has a link to the update thread, sometimes saying "view added content here" or something to that effect
 * while threads have mostly CG, tweet TLs, twitter avatars, and a quick flat summary list. later on when the RU page needs to be updated for the next update, the old big detailed list is copied into the update thread to replace the small flat list.

however one thing. Whatever you do, please DO NOT turn our RU page into http://en.kancollewiki.net/wiki/Game_Updates
