They don't feature the covers, nor do they individualize the artist. Instead of dropping the news on page 45 of an official thread, why not make a new thread to post an artists news? I completely disagree that all the fans of an artist will be visitting the official threads, because I don't. I'm a fan of most of the artists featured in the official threads (namie amuro, utada, koda kumi, do as infinity, mika nakashima, hitomi, ELT, etc but I don't even have the time to check 1/10 of those). I bet that also happens to other ppl. I'm not criticizing the "official" threads, they're cool to have more indepth talk about the favorite artists, but when it comes to "NEWS" I think those should be more highlighted and definitely deserve a new thread for them.
It's not like creating a new thread is much more work than posting the news on the official threads. In fact it's a lot more easier to create a new thread in my opinion. It also would give more variation to the Asian Music Chat Room, instead of having only 20 blocks of huge threads off the same type

I'm not criticizing the existance of "official threads". I agree that they allow some minorities to carry on deeper conversations about their favorite artists, be it on old news or news news. What I'm discussing is the fact that new News should better be posted into new threads, in order to be more visually appealing and catch more user's attentions. Dropping important news like "new releases, release dates, cover and tracklists" on the official threads in my opinion just hides a lot of important things that could be displayed to several more users if a new thread were to be created.
