Proposal for New Thread Posting Convention: Let Individual Subjects Get Their Own Threads.
I am active on several community bulletin boards that use a discussion forum program similar to this one (pHp, etc) and I think that the functionality of this DC board could be greatly enhanced. It is far more functional than Infirmation's antiquated Greedy Associates board, but at the same time I don't think we are getting the most out of this forum.
Maybe this is unwelcome, but I've decided to take it upon myself to campaign for this. Could we please start posting new topics in their own individual threads? It would make discussion much more accessible.
For example, the Chicago forum might have 50 individual threads like:
Latham & Watkins
Job openings in Chicago
Restaurants
Layoff Rumor at Firm X
Altheimer disintegrates.
Moving to Chicago--Chicago Housing
Illinois Bar Exam
Bonuses at Sidley
etc.
A forum like the Chicago forum would probably get 15 new threads per month. This system would be far more functional than the current system where we have 250 posts covering a number of topics in a single thread.
