The primary benefit of 4chan is its volume of users, being the premier and only perpetually truly active imageboard on the Internet.
The /news/ needs all the contributors it can get. It was getting slow to report even on 4. After all, what use is the /news/ without readers or reporters?
You can see from this thread that hardly anyone is reporting anything, it's dominated by meta discussion.
I don't think IDs are particularly relevant for /news/ anyhow, since we didn't really get schizo spammers and it wouldn't help against the >NIJISEETHE schizo.

I'm afraid of the thread going too slow to sustain itself anyway. I would be more concerned if we had the usual activity as a baseline.
As it stands, I think the occasional round-up when there is a backlog of news posted mid-thread and anchored to the OP and the previous round-up would be fine.
If it were to live very long (like 2 weeks), a rebake would be good.
Is there a way to set the old thread to autosage or something, as a signal to kill the thread?
I appreciate that the jannies here are helpful though, that's really refreshing.
And not having to constantly bump the thread every 15-40 minutes, since I was one of the people constantly bumping. If 4/vt/ comes back, it absolutely needs a higher thread count. The userbase ought to demand it.
