Re: What should a clutch thread look like?
I'm not sure. My knee jerk reaction was "that'd be great! set it up today!"
But by the time I clicked reply and started typing, it had occurred to me that part of the joy of sharing is in all the replies.
Also, a lot of the learning that can be had from these threads would be lost when the replies are lost. I remember a "look at my pastel hatchlings" thread, that when I opened it up, I thought to myself "those don't look like very good pastels". At that time, I didn't know enough to recognize that they were hypos, not pastels, but other people did, and so I was able to learn from the comments.
So, at the moment, I'm leaning towards thinking that the replies have more benefits than negatives. The biggest negative is the need to look through pages of replies for updates, but that can be solved by starting a new thread when there are any major updates, and linking back to the old one for the sake of continuity.
I guess it never hurts to start a new sub-forum, and let people choose which method of posting they prefer.
