Because no one would ever know that it was even there (see #4)

2.) No one would be subscribed to these 'seperate threads' (unless they were psychic) like they would be with a master thread. A lot of people don't visit here everyday, nor do they read the entire site each time they visit.

3.) Having a lot of separate threads would prevent a key feature of having a central master thread, that being to e-mail members when a new update is listed somewhere else in the forum. A single master thread would send out a new e-mail each time a new update was listed in the master thread.

4.) Every single member is not going to monitor or read every single old 2.0 -3.0 hack thread each and everyday, just to see if someone else has posted a new update for it. However, listing these updates in a master thread would announce these updates easily via e-mail for members who subscribed to the master list.

5.) Having one central master list would make it much easier for people to track down other updates for other hacks, they wouldn't even need to use the search engine, they would simply read the thread to learn about all listed updates.
