Hows about moving the member forums?

Dizzy · 02-17-2010, 10:10 PM

While I understand the rich heritage of the member forums and making fun of them because they are member forums, I think that they may feel more at home up here with the normal forums.

For example, the Kirby Forum would go in the Nintendo Forums, the TTR forum would go under/above the TTS forum, etc.

This was just an idea I thought I'd pitch.

Nope. Not active enough to be real forums.

Not even as dead subforums like announcements and front page suggestions?

Real forums get deleted if they serve no further use. Those are both forums Shane enacted for his own purposes. Doesn't make the Member Forums any more worth being real forums.

Thus raises the question whether the Procrastination Forum or Monty Python forum need to be 'active' anymore, and whether they could just be archived instead.

I personally don't want my forum moved, then deleted when it's not active enough.

Promoting a member forum to regular forum is like eating a jar of ketchup. They're only meant to be used sparingly, otherwise you get sick of them.

I once had an entire bottle of ketchup. I washed it down with a bottle of ranch dressing.

I don't really remember anything that happened for three days afterwards.
