I noticed some changes in the forum interface, I assume due to a forum makeover, not a browser update. Anyway, I see a “new topic” button in Forum Discussion. Wasn’t that limited to moments operators or some other inner circle before? Not sure if it’s a good idea to let just everybody create new topics there.
Well, personally I’ve started two topics, and I’m neither a MO nor “some other inner circle”. So I think anybody can create a topic. Just look at all the topics being opened more or less all the time. Some of them are merged with other existing topics, some just vanish into obscurity and a few lives on.
So I guess the only difference now is that this option is more visible. If it’s a good idea is of course another question. Perhaps this visibility will tempt more people to open random topics. We’ll just have to wait and see if there’ll be a rush of new topics about this and that and whatnot.
