I was just thinking that just as some people have taken the habit of starting a thread with links to the thread for the previous episode, it would be great if whoever started the thread, also went to the old thread and posted a link to the new one.

This would save people the hunting for the new one, as they could just follow the link on the thread they are subscribed to. It would also make it easier for the “historians” to follow old seasons.

Just an idea.

(not sure if this should be here or ATMB)

Good idea. That’s what they do with _24_. I’ll do it in my _Kid Nation_ threads starting…now.
