I am going to make the embarrassing admission that I didn't know only mods could make threads in News.
I say that knowing that as an "Admin" I should be 100% apprised of all technical issues on the forum, but I have to say I don't know all the issues because 1) I'm not on the technical side of things, and more important, 2) I don't want people to think admins and mods are actively blocking or minimizing threads.
So if users can't make threads in News, but mods can, I propose either we allow users to make threads in News, or make it an easy matter to propose new threads to mods.
I totally agree that threads like "Ringo News 2015" should be broken up into, at the minimum, 4 or 5 (or 8 or 10) different threads.
As an immediate measure, I can do this. Let me know how you'd like the thread to be broken up. Then we can look into how to get the News forum more user-friendly in general.
