One of the best things about this board is the on-going threads on NFL, MLB, soccer, and other popular sports topics. Unfortunately, one of the worst things is that people who don't follow those threads don't get to see the news that would be of broader interest unless the thread starter is proactive about editing the thread title to reflect new info.
If the mods are up to it, here is my proposal. I think a good compromise would be that the on-going threads be for general discussion. When big news happens like a major trade or suspension or something like that, people should feel free to start a thread about it so more of us can know about it and to discuss that topic specifically.
After that thread has run its course as determined by the mods, they can just add it to the ongoing thread.
So let's say for example, Dwight Howard gets traded to the Nets. Jaybone hears the news first and starts a thread titled "NBA - Dwight Howard Traded to Nets". We discuss that trade for 3 days and after it falls off the first page or so, the mods can just add it to the 2011-12 NBA thread at their discretion.
This keeps the board clean but makes sure we can spread info effectively.
