There is still going to be what you can consider "Misc", however it will be separated into two sections -- one for what you're viewing/playing, and one for what you're making/creating.

And none for the socialize-and-get-to-know-everyone topics D:> That's why I am quitting if these changes are made. No "This or That" no "Found a conspiracy" no "<insert complaint about something here>" no "What did you get for christmas" no "Official scratchers photo thread"

Conspiracy threads aren't allowed anyway :>

Seems nice, i'm actually excited.

What would like a offical topic of a show would go in? Or a thread about how your birthday is tommorow or something like that.

No, that's not quite right. Misc was an "open-topic" forum. The two new forums are not - so all topics must fit into the new forums. If they don't, they'll be removed, and a notification will be sent.

What if we just want to have a discussion? For example, we cannot talk about school because it does not fit in these two categories.

Things I'm Reading and Playing - A place to talk about books, games, art, or music that inspires you. This would include books like Harry Potter, games like Portal, or something by your favorite musician.

What about shows and movies?

Nooo! I've been on Miscellaneous for such a long time! I don't want to see it go :'(

What if I have a math question? Where would that go?

That's the whole point of removing Misc. though, to cut down on those types of topics :>

I definitely like that. It's smaller, but doesn't lose a lot of its meaning.

Well, "What did you get for christmas" could go into the "Reading and Playing" section if you want... 

If you want to know Scratchers well, you should consider making projects about yourself, commenting on other's projects, or even consider collaborating with them (or making remixes). There's plenty of "RPG Galleries" as you know where people socialize.

Hmm, it seems I misjudged. The constraints are going to be a bit tighter I suppose.

The only thing I can think to add is slightly simpler names. "Things I’m Making and Creating" and "Things I’m Reading and Playing" don't exactly roll off the tongue. I have no idea what you'd call them instead, though.

Aren't "making and creating" technically the same thing? Maybe that could be shortened to "Creations". No ideas about the reading and playing section, but I feel like a lot of the section names now have names that are nouns. "Offsite Media"? I don't really know.

I know that two more similar forums are being made, but I guess the haters won 

I had a suggestion about giving it a seperate forum like the TBGs, but this seems final and I respect your decision.

No. This is really just a more controlled and more organised version of Misc. If people actually care about the site, the community, and meaningful discussion on here, they'll stay.

Don't start... The 26th we will probably have tons of posts of people wanting to have the last one
