Use your best judgment about where to initiate new threads. Moving threads around is a relatively simple matter on my end so it's entirely up to you how quickly we populate the new parent forum.

But it seems clumsy to start a new thread in this new board to reply to something posted in the old board.
For the sake of continuity I would suggest replying to existing convos wherever they may be and give me a heads up if they need to be moved (or moved back as the case may be).

Just to give you a sense of the admin tools at my disposal, here are the possible actions available at the thread level:
• Close Thread
• Move (with options to leave no redirect, leave a permanent redirect or leave a discretionary redirect of X hours/days/months)
• Copy (with options to leave either or both versions open)
• Edit (all sorts of surgical options)
• Delete (renders thread invisible to most members, mostly used on feelthy spammers™)
• Stick
• Merge (graft one discussion onto other using either thread title, w/posts sorted chronologically)
• Remove redirect
About the only irreversible action is the Merge function (though I may be misremembering). Bottom line is, whatever can be done can usually be undone so no worries about burdening me.

Done.

Anything else?
