You said it urself. I feel that starting a thread, in preparation for future news release would only make space for more pple to chat about something that isnt confirmed at the current moment. Which is annoying. And kind of bad forum etiquette.
Speaking of that, if anyone is so eager to compile all these things IN PREPARATION for news that are not yet released, why not make threads for ayu's tour in 2010? ayu's new album? I hope you guys see the point here. It's ok if you dont.
YES! TH do update his first post with updated information REGULARLY. But his info are all from other threads that reveal the information. it's not as though with TH's thread, the other threads of information will not exist. NO. We would have
1. one thread that tells us the cover.
2. one thread that tells us the tracklist.
3. Another thread that tells us whatever.
and all TH does is to compile, nothing else. So we would have 4 threads. The other 3 threads dont disappear after TH's compilation. They are still there.
Again, words of fairness, i am very grateful for TH's threads especially this kind because it's so informative and one don't need to search thru pages to look for the correct info.
But i guess, it doesnt need to be done so quickly?

The problem is, is that people are going to chat regardless. They chat about everything that has to do with a piece of news, so there's already going to be speculation in any thread, because Ayu does not come out and tell us all of her plans in a detailed outline.
We used to have the News section organised the way you say. People would make threads, for every new bit of news. And we had more like ten different threads, along with, the compilation thread.
The News section was really messy, and awful to navigate.
I guess the upside would be, people's chatter being spread out amongst the different threads, rather than one thread. Unless of course, everyone posts in the compilation thread...which is where they're all going anyway...rendering all the other threads totally useless.
Therefore, to save time and to maximize space on the server, we have one big thread, for everything.
You guys are really exaggerating the fact that Anthony started a new thread about the future release...You're making it sound like he started a news thread for like, the next album, when, if only a few more days had gone by, he'd have had to make the same thread anyway.
And there is news...we get pictures and stuff from everywhere, little snippets here and there. Anthony posts them, and oh look! People talk about them.
So he made a mistake by starting the thread early and putting the word "covers" in the title. He's admitted it. The moderators have made statements, and acted on it. I think it's time to let it go.
@Impact: about the old news competition things...I think that some of those incidents involved a member that, is a little scrupulous and obsessive...and I don't believe that anyone here would act like that anymore.
