I'd be in favor of allowing link threads in OOT, at least on a trial basis. I think for the most part, link threads tend to self-moderate, in that the dumb ones tend to just sink, and the better ones get comments. If the dumb ones get dozens of comments along the lines of "this link is retarted," then it can be locked for being a bad thread. At the very least, NT et al. could change the opinion of link threads to be like poll threads are now: not verboten, but looked at more harshly if they suck.
