Every comment is considered an individual talk page attached to the main article. Therefore, anything we do to that page (i.e. deletion or renaming) will cause the server to have to do the same thing for every talk page (read:comment) associated with the page. It took the server nearly a month to finish moving comments when we truncated champion titles from articles.

There's also a fair chunk of unnecessary detective work we do when we have to hunt for comments which have broken file links.

Actually, no. As soon as 25 new comment threads get made, your thread is automatically bumped off the first page. Guess how fast that happens especially when visitors are so excited whenever a new champion is announced.
