Sounds good to me. Go for it.

I'll place it under "General discussion" subforum, since it will be for all OCs, not just KP-related ones.

Fair enough.

What happened with "Did you know" thread that was in the "Kim Possible" sub-forum? I can't find it anywhere.

It probably "died" from lack of use - after a while (a month, two, maybe?), any inactive thread gets pulled from the forum and stored in the archive.
If you'd like, you can start a new thread with that title in the KP forum - but I suggest naming it "Version 2.0" or something like that.

Actually, the "Did you ever notice" thread is still there. Note that the page will only show threads that have been active for the last month. If a thread goes inactive for more than a month, it falls off the page, but if you go to the bottom of the page, you can set the view for looking at all the threads for as far back as you want to go, even to the beginning of the forum. Set the limit farther back in time and the thread will reappear for you.

Oops! My bad! This is something even I didn't know - or realize - about old threads. (And I've been on this forum for what - six years now?) I apologize to hrodwolf123 for the misinformation I gave him - I am sorry, my friend...

OK, I know I'm going to sound very stupid for asking this given how long I've been on this forum, but I just can not find the icon at the bottom of the forum page that allows one to set the view for looking at all the threads for as far back as I want to go. Could someone p-l-e-a-s-e help an admitted computer illiterate (that's me, folks) locate that particular icon? I may have been looking in the wrong place all along, so I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks, guys.

Okay. Click on any main forum. Scroll down to the bottom left to where it says "Thread Display Options". It is right above the Icon Legend section. Click on the little down arrow and then select at the bottom of the list the choice of "beginning". Then go all the way to the far right where it says "Show Threads" and click on that. That should do it for you.

It worked! Thank you, sir!

EDIT: In order to keep that setting all the time (because it does revert to the default setting when you switch between screens), I found you have to do this:
Click "Settings" at top R.H. corner of the screen.
Under "My Account," click "General Settings."
Under "Thread Display Options," look at "Default Thread Age Cut-Off." Drop down to where it says "Show all threads," then select that and click.
Then go to the bottom of the screen and click the "Save Changes" button.

Glad to have helped.
