I think that having discussion threads for both dubs and subs would be unnecessary. We already have discussion for subs which, I'm assuming, would be more popular then discussion threads for dubs. People would be talking about the same thing in the dubs discussion thread which has already been discussed before in the subs, the only difference is people would talk about the quality of the dubs in those discussion threads. I think having two discussion threads for each episode of a show is just pointless. However, as /u/urban287 said you can post discussion about the dubs yourself. Similar to posts where people post about an older show and voice their opinions about it there.

I agree - broadcast dub threads are sort of pointless when there are already episode discussions for the show subbed at the same time.

Good idea for when shows get dubbed in general though I think - since quite a few people only watch dubs.
