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.

The only confusing thing here is the terminology! How about we use the term
“personal subtheme” instead of “personal universe” because I don’t see why the
term “subtheme” can only apply to something that others can contribute to. The
dictionary definition of “theme” (and therefore “subtheme”) seems to apply to
any collection of MOCs that have a common distinctive characteristic, regardless
of any accompanying story universe.
Why is a personal subtheme less interesting to the community, anyway?
Cheers,
