Or, instead of constantly updating the Status of NYCTA routes topic with useless comments, it should just be a single post for the update of routes. We, as route developers, can update it whenever we make progress.
And whenever someone makes a topic asking about it, instead of making any comments on why they didn't search the forum(which no one does nowadays) we can just post the link, thus avoiding the conflict altogether. Regardless, there will be a bit of manual labor to make something "automatic" per se.
