How does the Collaboration Station work

I'm semi-new here so I'd like to know how that works, since I'm looking for a co-writer for a project. If one of the mods/staff could explain how collabbing works here, I'd be grateful.
 
It is a forum where others can not view thread you create unless you add them as a collaborator (Thread tools => Thread collaboration). Staff (aka mods) can still see the contents but this is so they can do their job.

For us, it scales better than conversations and you get all the alerts and thread related functionality where conversations are quite limited in that respect.

Oh so it's only for staff? Not for regular users?
 
You can also be added by someone else who starts a thread in there, if they are staff or a subscriber (or otherwise have subscriber benefits, eg a gifted subscription).

This is the best advertisement for memberships on the site I have seen. If the feature was described the way it was in this thread I think more memberships might be bought.

Currently* on account upgrades it's described thusly: ''
  • Collaborative Threads
  • 10 members and group per thread''


    ......

    This is I think not very descriptive of how it functions.
 
@eliamartin65 in case you can't find anyone with a subscription and can't/won't use discord there are also the PMs. Click on the envelope icon next to the alerts button and you can open conversations. Just have someone's profile name to start one and then work on your collaboration in private and when one of you posts whoever is the OP can just mark the post with a threadmark.

It's a lot more clunkier than the collab station, but it is free to use.

I know about the PMs, but coming from SB (where people can ask to be sort of added into a thread as a collaborator), it's weird hehe.
