I would suggest just two boards: "Berkshire" and "Everything Else" would be a more rational way to structure the stock-specific discussion boards.

I appreciate the effort to imitate the layout of classic TMF. But famously, 99% of the boards on TMF were completely empty, and thus no one checked them for new posts, and thus they remained empty.

The point of a discussion board is to have discussion.

If the structure of the boards causes people to be discouraged from a) posting b) looking for posts to read, then the structure is wrong.

For example:

https://www.shrewdm.com/MB?pid=733685949

I would suggest if a particular stock gets a huge amount of attention over the long term in "Everything else", then a new board can be created at that point.

In fact I would argue that 'new TMF' is more successful in this regard for both discoverability and engagement, by grouping all stock posts on a single board, but with tags for the stock name.
