But misc was, it was made for misc things.

Which is why it's probably a good thing it's getting replaced.

Nobody's forcing you to view the topics you have no interest in.

Exactly. I know it's not fair to lump loads of work on mods, but why not just elect more?

Part of it comes from the fact that Miscellaneous takes more time than necessary to moderate - it doesn't make much sense to have them moderate things unrelated to Scratch (let alone not really contribute to the ideals of the MIT Media Lab in general) when they should be focused more on Scratch-related aspects (helping out with Scratch Design Studio, giving input for new collab ideas and the welcoming committee, testing out the experimental viewer Flash and looking for bugs, looking out for prijects on the main site, etc.). So neither does it make sense to elect more moderators to do that sort of thing; if more moderators are to be hired, it really should be more towards the benefit Scratch as a whole.

The two new sections have a tendency to focus on those ideals. (On a somewhat off-topic note, that's why the TBG were moved to their own separate section on Scratch even if they're also unrelated - the creative gameplay from it follows more closely with the ideals of the MIT Media Lab).

I really don't see how limiting what we can say and whatnot will help us come up with collabs. It doesn't make any sense.
I think we should have a place to come up with collab ideas and such, but guess what? We already have it and its called 'Project Ideas'.
Do you want it to become more popular or something? Well, deleting what the community likes won't help. 

I hope I don't come across as being really rude or something, I just don't really see the point in doing something like this. Deleting misc will send the spammers everywhere else. It won't stop spam. Just kinda shift it somewhere else.
Kinda like how a 2nd grader cleans his room.

I don't, but Scratch isn't the place for those personal topics.

That or have cause flames, arguments, spam, random chatter and more.

I'm all for the change.

When were pets and school:
Random?
Troll bait?
Spam?

Anyone at school spends most of their day there!  We NEED to be able to talk about it!

if you need to talk about school, or pets, or other non important things
kindly go to that forum that that one person linked to
misc was never meant to be the kind of place it has become

What was misc supposed to be then? In your view, of course c:

NO

You can't just tell someone to do something and then reject that very same idea
