This topic came up the other day. I like the concept in theory but a separate thread would depend on a TPAS mod to be around to unlock a thread, post to it, etc.
I’m not so sure I want that kind of pressure as none of us are just sitting around the DIS all day watching every second. We could just as easily miss when things come out as anyone else.
The deal with these things is if you aren’t online at the time or within hours, it will fill up and will have passed you by. That’s the unfortunate reality of it. News distribution will inevitably be chaotic, random, and inefficient, for better or worse.
