Congrats on the new game Jady - but more so, congrats on the new baby (the human one!!)
There's good and bad points on having separate threads, just like every game has good and bad points.
People wanting just information can access it easily from an info only thread, but there's plenty of scope for that on the Stern site and Facebook page.
We are all part of a forum, and one of the primary focuses of a forum is discussion. If that means we get exposed to negative views of certain members, I am confident that the majority of members already know what to expect in a post from certain individuals, and will read or ignore as they see fit.
Not long ago we were asked to merge threads on particular game so people could keep up more easily with the discussions on a particular game.........
I'm not saying that an 'info only' thread is a bad thing, but I can see it creating problems, particularly if the member posting includes opinions on the facts - its the nature of a forum to lead to others debating those opinions, and soon we'll be moderating the 'fact' section or it will become a 'normal' discussion thread itself.
But we're open to suggestions as always, feel free to pm Nino or me any time.
