What I got from Errol's post is that he's asking if we want for the main active soaps to each have a section where multiple topics about different aspects/questions about the soaps can be opened. Not just have one main discussion/spoiler topic each month. That's what I get, but maybe I'm reading it wrong. If that's what he is talking about, I'm all for it...

I think what he is suggesting is like the soapcentral boards where they have a sub-board for every section. The threads in that section would be separate, specific topics. The problem with that is you have lots of dead threads.

For example, a gh board would have say a thread about willow and say another thread about favorite characters and so forth.

That's how I understand it too. Within the GH section there could be daily discussions, spoiler threads, and you could also start threads like "I love Emma and Gio!!!" and "Carly is a hypocrite!" but that doesn't feel organic to this board somehow.

I think this place tends to be super organized and archive-able, so that if I want to rewatch GH from the late 2000s or early 2010s, I could literally go into the archives and read the "live" discussion threads alongside, if I wanted. That's what I like about SON, that it is well organized with a lot of data, synopsis, and intelligent discussion of both classic and current soaps. Another example would be in 5 years, I can go back into the BTG BTS thread and re-read everything that happened as the show developed and watch it unfold as it did in real time - initial reactions, casting news, story nuggets dropped. With the new setup being proposed there would be probably be new threads for every announcement.

That's why I stopped posting on SOC. We already have a love-hate forum for that.
