    It's that time of year again and people are keen to start new news threads with 2021 content.

    We do have strict rules about creating new threads for a new year:
    1. do not create new year-based news threads until after the 1st of January
      • 2nd of January would be better - people in Hawaii are almost a full day behind people in NZ, so best to wait until it is the new year for everyone
    2. do not create new threads without meaningful content
      • Don't post until you actually have some news
      • Also, don't go hunting for the smallest bit of trivia about a zoo just so you can start a new thread!
    To be clear:
    • Any thread news started for 2021 before Jan 1st will be deleted
    • Any thread started without meaningful content will be deleted
    If you are at all unsure - just post in the 2020 thread and the moderators will split any 2021 content off into a new thread if and when we deem appropriate.

    It is generally best to continue discussions about a specific topic in the year in which that discussion started - wait until there is new information before posting in a new thread.
