The links provided about two Sisters threads is confusing. I see only one active Sisters thread, while there is a general thread for Primetime Soaps. One is specific to a show, while the other is a day part. Ditto for the Rich Man Poor Man example. One is specific to the show, and the other is a general topic.
In my view, the show-specific threads for canceled shows are meant to discuss the show in depth with its fans. Meanwhile, ABC Daytime, NBC Daytime, CBS Daytime, Primetime Soaps, Classic Primetime Mini-Series, etc., type threads are specific to lineups or general conversations about genres that might also mention a specific show in that discussion. For instance, if someone is talking about NBC's decision to cancel Santa Barbara and replace it with another show, that could technically be specific to Santa Barbara, but the topic itself is beyond the show itself, because one is talking about NBC's decision and the show greenlit as the replacement. That's where NBC Daytime thread and Santa Barbara thread differ.
Think of it like this, for nearly an entire year, we discussed all things Beyond the Gates from the time it was first announced as being in development, all the way through its first episode airing. That was a historic thread that still lives on in a new capacity, but as it stands, anything and everything related to the show is either limited to that thread, the monthly discussion thread or the monthly spoiler thread. Where can we discuss other aspects of the show where people can actively participate without having to search dozens, or even hundreds, of pages first?
I personally can't read every single page of every single thread just to find where someone discussed something, and I can't expect others to do the same.
