I knew there was another thread about this. 15 threads below this one.  http://www.celica-gts.com/forums/index.php?topic=14024.0

As mentioned, this has been requested before, but I had three concerns that prevented it from materializing.

• There is no reasonable way to make a thread that is owned/moderated by the author
• There is no reasonable way to prevent anyone but the OP from posting in a thread
• I do not like empty forums, and I didn't want to create a forum that will see 2-6 threads a year

It certainly is easy for me to create a new forum and just see how it pans out, but I still have those concerns.

Would you be interested trying it out as a child forum (like the probably soon to die due to lack of traffic Photoshop forum)?

[yella81celica]

Can always try it.

And I'd hate to see the seldom used but nice to have photochop forum go away!

Steven; I don't quite understand the need for an OP-only thread. I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, that most members simply want "build threads" to have their respective section within 'General' as a child forum. On other automotive forums that I frequent, "build threads" are treated as any other thread. The only reason for it's separate section is to ease 'clutter'. From my experience, other member/user feedback has been very helpful during builds. This seems like a mature forum where spamming and other nuisances are not a problem. Either that or the moderators practice good upkeep of the site.

" ........most members simply want "build threads" to have their respective section within 'General' as a child forum."

Yes.

I know I'm late to the party here, but it would be nice. I've started 3 seperate build threads because I couldn't find my older ones.
