Took me a little bit to find the Boca Chica thread.  I think that one deserves a "Moved" token thread, in the board=45 General group, like you do for Live coverage.  Make sure the token thread has "Texas" in the name, and even better "Boca Chica", so we see it when scanning for it.

So, now I add board=80 to my regular read sequence ...

PSA #1: EST does NOT mean "Eastern Time".  Use "Eastern" or "ET" instead, all year round, and avoid this common error.  Google "EST vs EDT".
PSA #2: It's and its: know the difference and quietly impress grammar pedants.  Google "angry flower its" .  *** See profile for two more NSF forum tips. ***

Copy that. Still some moving to do, but it got a bit busy with the reporting side of things. :)

Also, we have the "new threads" to set up for the currently massive continuation threads.

I still think that Boca Chica thread deserves a placeholder, per above.

Separately, considering the recent realignment of the SpaceX threads, should the "Where will BFR be built?" / Long Beach thread be moved over to the Facilities and Fleets thread group?

EDIT: and I went to go get that thread URL from the General group to link to it  here, and now I realize that it has already been moved to the new BFR group.  I had used Google to find it.  Ooookay then, nevermind.

You might think about adding "Long Beach" that thread title, or splitting off firm Long Beach construction updates from the usual BFR-could-be-built-over-here idle chatter.

Done.  BFR Manufacturing Facility in San Pedro (Los Angeles)

You may wish to consider scrapping the SpaceX Reusability section and merging all the threads into SpaceX General. There are few (semi) active threads with hardly any posts to them (probably because reusability is now a given, especially when it comes to SpaceX).

Would it be OK to have a (sticky ??) thread with information about SpaceX VIPs?
Just a who is who of the company?
You want to be inspired by things. You want to wake up in the morning and think the future is going to be great. That's what being a spacefaring civilization is all about. It's about believing in the future and believing the future will be better than the past. And I can't think of anything more exciting than being out there among the stars.

Seconded. SpaceX had many reuseability irons in the fire, but with Falcon9 design frozen, S2 reusebility no longer persued, S1 reusability routine, and even fairings reflown, the only significant progress on that front is in the Starship development.

And that has its own section, making the Reusability section redundant (although interesting from a historical point of view)

Especially since the most progress on F9 reusability is with fairing recovery ships, which are covered by the "facilities and fleet" section.

On the front page right now, there are10 starlink related posts one small sat related post plus the starlink index. It might be time for a separate starlink and satellite business sub forum

Think this deserves a bump. Starlink is ramping up rapidly and so are the number of topics. It deserves its own sub forum.

Double Bump.  Can't find "general SpaceX" threads in there anymore.  And it's more like 20 now.

agreed with this. Said this in the Starlink General thread:
Separate topic, but since Starlink is likely to be the majority of SpaceX's revenue in a year or two, it probably makes sense to consolidate a couple of the SpaceX forum subsections and create a new Starlink subsection. The top 4 threads on this current subforum are Starlink-related.
...
Starlink is about to become a major part of how the public sees SpaceX and a majority of their revenue.

Could not the sticky threads in the SS/SH section be realigned?

Other than the "First Posters Guide" they seem to all refer to Hopper or old Articles. The currently premier prototype's update thread, and the "SS Ecosystem Tweet updates" could use that screen real estate.
