The DAAS thread reason
was a good one, before I added tags.
As I said, they've all been tagged now so if you wanted to find all the DAAS threads, for example, you could just check the
DAAS tag. All the posts would be out in genpop, but they're not going to be closed to comments or invisible or anything.
As for the other, yes, that's the only reason it wasn't closed a long time ago. There's only two threads that have even been active, other than this one, for ages in this folder anyway, so it seems kind of silly to have an entire forum for it.
Except that that is from whence the board came.
Sentimentality is all well and good, but forums that don't get used much or at all probably don't really need to have a dedicated section anymore...
[Edit]
Alisso beat me and said much the same as what I did.
I could create a FAQ entry detailing some of the history of the forum though I suppose?
