Re: Why I would like to get rid of the LoL forum
I DEFINITELY agree, Matt. The whole spin-off was weird anyway and IIRC happened when The Lounge was created. I don't even remember there being a clamoring for a link forum anyway, maybe that discussion only existed in the mod forum?
What's funny about LOL (no pun intended) is that for the longest time it was referred to as "the trash dump" etc., so I never went there, then some discussion about replacing it with BBV4L was brought up and all of a sudden guys like [censored] came out of the woodwork to say how much they enjoy that forum.
Get rid of the forum, allow links in OOT, and things will sort themselves out as they always do. Besides, I thought I saw that OOT's numbers are maybe 60-70% of what they were a year ago, so folding those threads back into OOT isn't going to make the forum unmanageably busy.
Most importantly, there are probably many threads in LOL that would get a lot more play and discussion in OOT but they never get read.
