...I believe it's because it's a national board not a regional board. When the 60 and over board got going we received permission to have a theme photo thread once a week on Thursday. HaleyOrlando and our mod at the time had something to do with that I think. (The mods were let go about a week or so later.) I'm pretty sure the other national boards don't have photo theme threads.

There are others here who may remember better than I about this.
