Likewise, if a thread topic was specifically about general philosophy or strategies for UL backpacking (not hammock specific) it would technically be off topic in the free sections. Now there's a specific place for creating UL focused threads in the donating area (though there were already subforums in the donating section for non-hammock gear segments and for general backpacking topics).
The examples you gave would be fine for the free section, because they relate to hammocks.
The second thread created in the new subforum is about UL bridge hammocks, so it would be at home in either section.
