Scratch

misc was archived because it was too much of a hassle to moderate and replaced with the "reading and playing" and "making and creating" forums

I understand the efforts to keep spam out, but does that mean that there's really no board to discuss misc. topics? Like, Making/Creating can be used for Minecraft and Spriting stuff, and Reading and Playing is for Books/Articles/Games, but I'm surprised that there isn't a "General Discussion" type thing.

On another note, does anyone have a link to the Forum Games Board, if it still exists?

Actually, the making and creating is for making things outside of scratch, so sprites wouldn't belong in that forum.

Well, yes, I wasn't talking about Scratch sprites. Pokemon splicing, other video game sprites, GIMP, etc. That's what I was trying to get at.

Its been split into text-based and role-playing games. I don't remember why it was split from the main forums, I think to stop the spam while still allowing fun or something like that.

I was still here when the split occurred, I believe that's why.

It was because people were just using to gain posts.

At first you think it's a terrible idea and you'll never get used to no Misc. but after a while you prefer it.

Well, I guess the "post as many time in a row" games caused that 

No Misc is better, but there are some topics that aren't really classified using te new system, such as Impossible Songs.

I would put that topic under Reading and Playing because all the other music topics go there (as it is media you are consuming) but that's just where I would.
