Question for long-time CC members

I visit the Colleges and Universities page daily, usually from the left menu from Top Forums. The Colleges and Universities page itself doesn’t really change, but you drill-down to find particular schools. For example, both my children attended schools in the CC Top Liberal Arts Colleges category. There are frequent postings for particular colleges/universities in this forum.

My guess is that particular thread is displayed because it appears under the U.S. Service Academies category. No other category has a thread underneath it. I think they changed the format a few years back so you are not permitted to create a new thread under a sub-category (or for Colleges and Universities), only inside a particular school’s area. Since it’s the only thread in the entire Colleges and Universities area that’s why it’s displaying (and never updates).
