I can see both points of view as regards this being a new thread vs. posting in the bar. I think that as it currently stands (as of 7:27pm) the thread topic is "closed" as in, the topic is basically "here's something cool that happened today" - for it to be a more obviously valid standalone thread I think there needs to be a clearer invitation for other members to give opinions and feedback, for example by adding a phrase like "what stories of teachers vs student games do y'all have?"
