For whatever reason, these areas, and MT in particular, have taken on a life of their own on this board. There are so many posts on this topic, all at the thread level, that it’s difficult to locate specific information within the threads.
Recently I posted to a MT thread about a particular issue. Numerous posts were in this same thread that were completely unrelated to my post, and probably to each other as well. That makes it extremely difficult to follow anything. I thought my question was lost in the shuffle. Eventually someone else asked the same question and got some responses, but the point is it’s very unwieldly to follow things in the current structure IMO.
I suggest that this area would be better served if the general topic was elevated to the forum level, complete with various subfora dealing with particular aspects and even some for particular schools which generate substantial post volume in this area.
It’s true that you could do the same thing for any other particular major or area of study, and that would yield an unwieldly precedent. However in practice this seems only to be an issue for drama and MT.
