    So, going forward, any UL content needs to be posted in the DM sub-forum? Fine for me, but what about hammock noobs? First thing most younger hikers thinking of switching/trying hammocks are going to ask in the Hammocks sub is....."what are some good UL hammocks, any pointers as far as UL backpacking with a hammock for noobs? Thanks, J Doe."

    I was fortunate enough that when I got the bug a few years ago, I got it bad and had the means to experiment. Or am I overthinking?

    Edited: Clarity (I hope)

    No, but if the thread topic is specifically about UL gear that isn't related to hammocks, suspensions, weather protection (tarps & suspensions, socks, etc), or hammock insulation, then the thread is technically off-topic for the free section of the forum. In the past, the mods would likely either steer the conversation to be hammock-focused, or the thread would be moved to a subforum within the donating area. 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, where hammocks don't necessarily need to be the focus, 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.

    Ok, so I was missing something. Thanks cmc4free!
