To my mind, one of the main issues is in terms of differentiating these threads from the usual Mudcat 'chat'

In fairness to those contributors who have already added extraneous information to the nascent DTStudy threads, they haven't perhaps understood the purpose, and have hence added their halfpennyworth assuming it was 'just another thread'

The prevailing culture here is certainly in favour of 'banter' as opposed to scholarship.

Given that Max opposes spliting the forum in any way, it it difficult to see how this project can, in practice, work here.

A shame
