I still think it is a good idea to just do a sticky.

Though, as Sophist suggested in the other thread A forum for all of this emergency stuff would be a great idea.

I'm fine with any of the above... SO long as something is done. This was needed for a long time.

Also, since not all people seem to know how to post updates in the original threads I think it is a good idea. It is so annoying when people post updates with out ANY reference to what they were talking about. I have to deal with this on a local rescue board. Even the mods post new threads instead of posts in the original threads. Uggg! I wish i had my mod status back there. (I was a sub moderator, but we had some security problems and now the settings are all messed up and the Admin can't figure it out.)

I guess that is why i prefer Sticky over having a new forum... People are still going to do new threads in the new forum.

Idea if the new forum is put in place... Maybe when a certain subject is going on it could be stickied, but if it is resolved it could be unstickied? Maybe that would encourage people to post updates IN the thread?
