I had made sure that people could continue posting as usual when forum board subjects were reproduced on Discussions prior to the boards being locked. No one has yet been limited to posting what they always have been.

Nusdan, in relation to content grouping, we can't actually treat Discussions like the upper tier and the forum the lower tier because all the forum content will be merged with Discussions, so in the end it will be the same. Splitting up the 'annoying' stuff was to help make it more manageable. Merging it all into Off Topic again is a curious proposal. I'm not sure that I understand your intentions. Could you explain it a bit more?

Okay, clarifying, those threads are the "What would you do if...", "Post this because..." and "This is a scenario. Your reaction?" types. They seem to me to be very shallow and uninspired. I noticed some were "taken from the Minecraft forum", which further lowered my expectations of them. The content is virtually meaningless. People may enjoy the experience of posting creatively on them, but that doesn't change that they aren't conducive and don't forward people's knowledge, understanding or opinions. I am not saying all activities are like this or aren't worthwhile. Some are quite intelligently designed. However, the value of a good opinionated discussion I believe is a lot higher. Again, opinions may be exchanged on threads here, but rarely have I seen actual discussion going on. Of course, this is due to the type of game Geometry Dash is, not being strategy-based and with limited controllable gameplay variation. But even on the Off Topic board, who discusses movies or TV, sports, school, relationships, hobbies, genuine off topic stuff? I don't see much of it at all. Banning those threads is one thing. Should we devise a strategy that promotes more refined discussion better?
