I can also see someone eventually getting bent out of shape because they
created a theme but no one else is building creations for it!?!

I don’t think that any person should expect others to add to their
subtheme. Personally I’d prefer it if people didn’t add to any subtheme I
contributed... but that’s just me :-)

See, this is where I think a lot of confusion comes in. We’re talking about two
different things - personal universes and subthemes. PU’s are such where people
can make them as detailed as they want or as strict as they want - it is the
right of the builder to control everything.
To me, a subtheme works like a fan created version of a official TLG theme - the
very point is to invite many builders to contribute. That is what makes
subthemes like Eastern Block and PCS so interesting, especially within context
of the larger community. Anyone can come and contribute to the idea of PCS or
EB.
If a “subtheme” isnt open to new builders, then it *isn’t* a subtheme. It is a
PU. I’m not against PUs - but they dont have the same interest to the community
on a whole as subthemes do.

That way I can skip right to the pirates and see them all on one page, or the traders, or the fascist dictators, etc... (...) I don't think that any person (...)
