do we want to try importing some threads over here?

First:  Thank you drew for creating this board for us.  These aren't complaints, they are thoughts that I think would make it better if they are possible to accommodate. 

Would it be possible to make the text box when typing a post a little larger.  When typing a post, particularly when quoting an earlier post, the text box is pretty small so it is hard to see it all at once.  Maybe that would encourage smaller posts and be a good thing for people like me, LoL. 

I haven't figured out how to use the bullets and numbering yet but I'll probably get that in time.

Some of the non-recipe posts are relevant to the recipes, so we have to be careful. For example, discussions about the idiosyncrasies of prep and such are important. It's like a cookbook with a comment section.

Guys/gals,

Check out the comment section for this website that Drew set up. Remember, the intention is that this place is to make it ours.

I would also leave in things like comments on the recipes.  Ie, if I used one of your recipes and left a post saying that I thought it was really good or that I thought it could use more garlic, that should be left.  However, a comment about the game at which I used the recipe could be deleted.

damnit, you bigtenners take every thread and turn it into ot/food discussion.

Granted, this is still a manual process, but if you're trying to condense things, you could simply take the comments relevant to a specific recipe and pull them all into a single post for that recipe. And if there are unnecessary comments that aren't meaningful enough, just drop those and keep the important ones.
