I guess I was just unlucky when I tried to find that unlocked thread in the School Rumble sub-forum, then. Maybe this particular sub-forum is an anomaly, but there is no general discussion thread that spans the entire franchise. Maybe that was an oversight that has since been corrected in the sub-forums for other shows? The closest thread that covers both seasons and the OVA is the one about the show being licensed by Funimation. That's hardly a "general" discussion.

It hasn't always been clear to me that sub-forums are a good solution for discussing popular series. The most recent case in point is the thread for Cross Game. It has over 3,400 postings, which I believe is the most for any show that doesn't have a sub-forum. As in all popular series, there were the occasional postings of "I hope this gets a sub-forum" usually followed quickly by more postings to the effect of "please, no." The general consensus in that thread was that a sub-forum would dissipate discussion by spreading it over dozens of threads.
