How about holding the classes, we leave that one thread open for say a week or so before closing it and switching to another class. While in the other threads we have it where people can post as if they are taking their class but just going about their own lives. We can put time stamps in the tags to let people know when and where people are at. Means fluid time within the rest of the threads. But that way the classes are held, but for those that want to play else where during that time as well can. Hopefully I'm making sense, I'm dog tired fighting off something. But I swear this makes sense in my head at the moment. LOL
