我们已经观察到“快车道/慢车道”的动态已经有一段时间了。Megatopics 就是对聊天的呼唤：

You can, but it’s going to break you in the long run (due to db size), and it adds hosting costs in terms of pageview, storage, bandwidth load.

Using a topic as a chatroom

The main issue you will run into is megatopics, which chat topics always become.

That being said, if you have one of these topics at a time and delete the old ones, you’re probaby fine. This gets into “slow lane” versus “fast lane” discussions and it is something I want to eventually design for.
