Pointless forums that should be removed
That being no pants thursday and the red light district. Espeicly the red light district since no one has posted there in a long long while. Every other forum on here has some sort of point. And again, merge the sub forum tutorials with tokyo u. Having that tutorials sub forum is just going to confuse people and get posts totally missed because no one really checks that forum anymore, I was stupid for posting more topics in there. I'm sure new users will get confused, post topics in there get totally ignored and then click over to another forum with a better forum structure.
And may I ask what's the point in having a trash topics forum? Why not just delete the garbage topics and be done with it? It's a lot more neater that way.

Re: Pointless forums that should be removed
I keep it that way because it's familiar. Would you knock down a wall in your house, saying "I get to work late because of this wall!"?

Re: Pointless forums that should be removed
Let's face it, without taking into account yom's flashes, this community has little left to feed on but nostalgia.

Re: Pointless forums that should be removed
Yom, this is a forum on the internet, not a house. That analogy is losing water quickly. All it would take is a few mouse clicks (or key strokes if you're extra geeky)
You say because it's familiar, but that translates to me into the height of laziness. That's what kills forkheads sheer laziness.

Re: Pointless forums that should be removed
Alright I'm sorry Yom, but I am going to have to agree with CF for the most part on this one. If the goal of FH is to grow then *eventually* a clear and simple forum layout would be optimal. No pants thursday topics and shit can be brought to general spam, same with (or delete) red light district. They simply became nothing. If we wish to grow then it should be done. (especially when we want to add forums such as drugs for carsito). However it is not crucial that it be done NOW so i will be patient. However rampant procrastination can be a problem so do what you will. Merging tutorials with Tokyo U is also sensible.
CF as for people not really going there too often there are 2 reasons. A. not a lot of people to begin with. B. Some people really don't give a shit about certain topics, or have not had the time to go through yours. You make a lot, which is cool for growth of the site and some people who may be interested, but you have to realize people may not view them.
Edit: No pants thursday is kind of a decent idea (although no one will try hard enough to participate) so maybe the sticky that started that forum can be moved to general spam and continue to live. (the rest is spam)

But thank-you for finnaly aggreeing with one of my ideas. You proved me wrong about my belief that you're a total troll.

How about no? I have to live here too. Besides, if you think about it the analogy that forkheads is yom's house is fundamentally flawed since it's a public space. Think of the anons like total strangers. and everyone else as the people who work here. If this were your house yom would you let strangers walk through? No. Probably not, unless forkheads is basicly a card board box in a alley way. The useless forums would be garbage cans and the spam in places where it's not supposed to be would be pop cans and rotten fish. Man, yom if this was a place in the RL it would smell like, cum, rotten fish, shit, mouth wash and BO. Obviously you're fucking homeless.

They're historical artifacts. You don't burn historical artifacts.

Re: Pointless forums that should be removed
Then warehouse them. It's clutter. Would you keep all the toys from your childhood on your living room floor? No you'll put them in the basement.
So stick those forums and topics in the basement.
