Lets Close Miscellaneous
I was always for keeping this forum up. But now I've just gotten sick of it.
It is the source of all spam, twitter updates, cool stories by bros and flames. I always believed it was there so we could all get to know each other, but now it's just ridiculous. A freakin' web comic was made to make fun of it. I think you all have to agree the misc forums have been going on long enough.
So, i think it's time to take it down.

Don't want it closed? Look below. How many flame-bait or worthless topics do you see?

Re: Lets Close Miscellaneous
I kinda support.
However I think there should just be stricter guidelines for what is allowed here.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

First of all, this should be in suggestions.
Second of all, I don't really agree. I support moving the forum to a separate website.
But we don't really need the Misc. It's just, kind of, here. Moving to another site would be pointless, kind of, since this is a programming site.
I agree with closing Miscellaneous.

Re: Lets Close Miscellaneous
How about:
No posts containing virtual or real life relationships, and no posts referencing or containing insults to other users. Try to always keep a positive tone also.
Just summing up recent events.

Re: Lets Close Miscellaneous
Stricter guidelines=no need.
Plus, it's not a huge deal. I know some people say everything that's happening, accurate for every second, but I feel miscellaneous makes us grow closer together as a community.
Where will we talk about our favorite cartoons and animes? Where will we talk about our vacations, laughs, and fails? We need another choice besides projects. We need misc.

Thanks for posting that. This further proves people just see this forum as an online chat.

It's not a chat. It's a discussion not involving programming, animation, art, etc(other things involving Scratch.) Many people like it, and the forums would have a less characteristic feel to them. I don't like that.

Vote on the suggestion.
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

It can't be closed. Where will we get out inspriation? That's what inspiration and more is for. It seems like everyone forgets that. Miscellaneous isn't "OH HAI THIS ISH TEH SPAM FORUM".

Re: Lets Close Miscellaneous
coolstuff said that he's done A LOT of discussing with the Scratch Team, and they want to keep it. They won't get rid of it. 
What we can do is to make Miscellaneous better.
