LOL. Veerrrry funny, nitrogen & shrek-devil. Yep, the atmosphere IS pretty thick with threads about gfx cards.
But seriously guys, what would be a practicable solution ? Sure it's been proposed more than once that all posts in connection with gfx cards should go to a single thread. But is this practicable or even desireable ?
1) Even if mods make a firm rule to this effect, many, if not most, posters do not read the stickies or forum rules before posting.
2) Gfx cards probably generate the most intense level of interest among hardware enthusiasts from novice to expert. This inevitably results in a large number of posts.
3) In the unlikely event that everyone posts about gfx cards in the same thread, think how unwieldy it will become in a short time. Not just the quantity, but the interleaving of all kinds of questions related to gfx cards, and the replies, opinions and arguments.
Someone will ask about the price, another one about performance, others about comparision with another card, still others want to know about compatibility, overclocking, etc etc..... and these are all questions that can and have been asked about ONE type of card or GPU. Multiply that with the number of popular cards in circulation. It will become a very long and very confusing thread in no time, don't you think ?
Other topics may be more manageable in a single thread, but graphics cards ? I doubt it.
