Starting new topics/threads

Now that the forums are more than a decade old, I'd like to introduce a little more structure in the way we set up topics and threads.

Simply, I'd like to do away with one-size-fits-all forum threads like "Interesting stuff", which now stands at 13,475 comments. 

Sure, these threads made sense back in the early days - a potpourri of random observations, insights and links - but the problem is that they become swamped by topics that suddenly develop a life of their own. 

The Swellnet community has a wide range of opinions across almost all manner of interests, and I think it's important that we preserve some kind of timeline for individual topics. Not only will this make it easier to search for, but it'll make for a more balanced discussion. 

So, next time you want to post something but can't find the right thread, just click here and add your search term after "swellnet.com/forums". 

And if you can't find anything, start a new thread here!
