This is a solution to the problem of the new beatmap submission server not creating a description topic for the set like the old one did. Notably, this solution implies several shortcuts: - If the main metadata of the set (artist, title) don't change, the forum thread will not be renamed - The forum thread will be posted in a hardcoded forum and never moved, while old BSS would move the thread between forums 6 and 10 depending on whether the beatmap is pending or WIP. Not doing this saves a whole bunch of busy work. - There is no actual body in the forum thread OP, contrary to what old submission did. The aforementioned simplifications were made with the assumption that subforums 6 and 10 on production were going to be hidden away from users due to not containing any actual content that anyone would ever want to see. (Same thing applies to forum 19, which is graveyard.) The *one and only goal* here is that descriptions should be editable for maps submitted using new BSS. Thus I am taking pretty much the same shortcuts that places like the profile page already seem to be.

well this is originally my idea, so 🤷 and yay? 👍 and I think it doesn't have to reuse the existing forum...? |

Yeah I know you suggested it first. It's moreso that I want as many people as required to agree with this direction. @peppy most of all, probably.
It doesn't, sure. The default is set to something that would work on production immediately. Whether a new forum happens for this can be negotiated as one of the details to work out here. |

Please consider this PR as a request for comments / starting point of discussion. It is by no means intended to be 100% complete, and as such I'm opening it as draft until that initial discussion has ran its course and any potential objections have been addressed.
