This keeps me in very close contact with them all. I even use for site contests! When the global thread is in every forum, they learn to "know" other posters, making it less painful for some to post outside of their normal boards.

Ah, ok, that makes a little more sense. I thought it was private for the regular members, too. I'm still not sure how to use the global threads properly, but it seems like a nice idea if implemented right. I guess we never get too old to still learn something from a Mom, huh?
