Since someone has broadcast that fanhome is back through scout, is there any way we can keep JP talk to threads about JP.

Short answer ... no.
It's been suggested many times, and even tried ... but there's no way of keeping threads from becoming JP threads. It would be unenforceable. A thread can start off as a non-JP thread ... but JP's name will come up for whatever reason, and someone may make a value judgement about JP ... and the floodgates open. How do you stop that? Do you say, "sorry, this isn't a JP thread, we can't debate this point"? Or do you ban all mention of JP's name? You can always make the suggestion ... but people aren't going to follow it, and if you try to make them, people will cry foul.
Discussions about the team are inextricably linked to who the GM is, and it's natural for threads to evolve into discussions about the merits (or lack thereof) of the GM. I'd love it if I never had to read another JP debate, but the likelihood of a group of board members sticking to a "put JP in the JP threads" policy is near zero.
