Can Anyone Add a New Thread to the Biography Forum? Yes & No. Adding a new Thread to the Biography Forum isn't a casual thing, it takes a lot of preparation, research, and there is a layout that we require all New Threads follow. Any person who is willing to create a Profile / Biography, and submit it to the forum in the proper format, assuming that it contains good factual information that is accurate, can do so. We have had several attempts at making submissions, but few are willing to follow our strict guidelines. We usually move failed attempts to a different appropriate forum. Off topic posts are moved immediately. Although discussions are frequently made in the replies after the initial Biography thread is created, General...
