I like the idea of them. They are entertaining, and provided all actual discussion occurs in the thread in question, and not the repost thread here, groupthink and douchery can be avoided.
I think, as long as it was limited to only summary post + link and no commenting/discussion, it would be fine.
Also, no links to BG... Set up a DoW for that shit.
But, if those standards can't be followed or are too difficult to set up, then it shouldn't happen, or else it just becomes the same douchebaggery jack off flame fest that we've seen the last two degrade into.
