i like the official threads for some of the larger projects, but the problem with the new format is that there are many smaller projects that might not warrant threads of their own. some of my favourite threads have always been the ones where someone did a walking tour with their camera and snagged pictures of a dozen sites (i think it was Archivisto who mostly did them) because you'd get to see/read updates about projects you might never even notice otherwise. i'm thinking of projects like BSN, the Marriott on Wellington, Mosaic, 11 Christie, St. Patrick rental building, London, Boot, etc
