Good catch.

In case you haven't noticed, the LS&R and the Icon Creation boards with content older than two months were gradually deleted, and any notable threads were preserved and moved over to the GD Discussion board (somewhere in the older history is where they will reappear).

Well, I've made a few attempts myself to create some threads for people to discuss stuff. The swingcopter one did alright. Once again, though, people are too inclined to using the forum, which is affecting the coverage that content in Discussions is getting. At which point we as staff will have absolutely no further use of the forum is when Discussions receives a highlight feature. I do not know when that will occur, but I suggest you consider that to be a possible time where we do archive the forum for good. 'Splitting discussions', or at least the general location where this is concentrated, is not ideal if we want to maximise the views which individual threads receive.

Indeed, some are figuring out that games are getting boring, so it is a good time to try inject more engaging content. Opinion pieces, as you will, naturally stimulate discussion. This does not need to be about GD, but new release movies, YouTubers, cultural holidays, machine takeover of society, any of this stuff could get the community talking and as it has become clear to me, it's this interaction that people love most. Games facilitate interaction, but now we need something fresh. What do you reckon?
