>>>>>When a new forum for UniversalThread was introduced, it was set up as one of the forums for all users and new users. Same deal here - since it's a new forum, the only way to make people aware of it is to make it IN by default. Then everyone who doesn't care can take it out. Without setting it IN by default nobody will be subscribed to this new forum.

Or maybe there are no new messages. I'm serious.
