Kind of forgot to mention this on my previous post, but the point of using Fate/zero as an example was also meant to say that this anime (which is not airing this season) is hardly getting new posts in the generic discussion thread.
In fact all of the animes with a sub forum of the last season has a pretty inactive generic discussion thread these days, not just penguin drum but Haganai, Horizon, fate/zero as well. Which is wierd for horizon and fate zero, because those series are getting a 2nd cour in april and i would expect that people would speculate even more because both series ended with a cliffhanger.

Why not experiment with freer thread creation in a couple older series subforums?
If it works, great. Gradually spread freer thread creation out to other series subforums, and see if it continues to work.
If it causes more problems than it solves, then go back to a strict limited subforum approach, having gained some valuable insights from the experiment.

It doesn't hurt to experiment this, but somehow I am not sure if a new thread would make a sub forum that more popular. Like the dubbing of madoka , the madoka online game or the Steins;Gate movie were all threads made after the series ended. But those 3 threads didn't get too many posts and i am pretty sure that those 2 series are still more popular than penguin drum.
