On this recent thread, people have been discussing the changing of the TBG forums, and the Miscellaneous, along with many different solutions. This is my personal idea, which I thing would work greatly.
Miscellaneous forum - gets archived. But it will in a way, moved to the new TBG forum. But that will change because of this.
First, the url will be changed to something like "http://scratch.mit.edu/otherforum" instead of "http://scratch.mit.edu/tbgforum". This is because this new forum, will support TBG, along with Off-Topic subjects.
Second, many forums will be added. Just like in the scratch forums has Scratch, Scratch in other languages, Inspiration and More, and Archived, the new forum will have Text-Based-Games, and Off-Topic. Within Text Based Games, there will be Announcements, Suggestions, Counting Games, Word Games, Creative Games, Role-Playing Games, and other ones. Within Off-Topic, there will be Announcements, Suggestions, Polls, Recent Events, Hobbies, and other ones.
Thirdly, there will be a moderator election Oh boy, that will take a while. But worth it.
Now, why do I want to do this? Well the idea behind this, is to keep the Scratch Forums, Scratch Related, without having most of the attention on Miscellaneous.

I disagree. What reason is there to move to miscellaneous section somewhere else? Just delete the TBG forum and have no more of this creating new forums nonsense.

I agree with Ace that Miscellaneous doesn't need to be moved. There haven't been any problems with it like there were with TBGs, so it doesn't need to go through the same fate as the TBGs.

The problem is that everybody goes on the Scratch forums, but mostly just on off-topic places like Miscellaneous, and previously TBG, and I&M. I think the Scratch Forums should mostly be for discussing scratch-related topics. People can talk about recent events, their hobbies and more in other places, but that's not what scratch is about.

How about we JUST DON'T HAVE A MISC SECTION?
Every since Inspiration and More happened, the rest of the forum has become generally more neglected. But you wouldn't understand, because you joined more recently...

*gasp* Lucario is... talking back.. to RHY?!
Don't you see? If we got rid of the miscellaneous forum, people would altogether stop coming to this regular forum. It would die.

Every since...
Why not have a misc section? Without an off-topic forum users will get bored when they have no project ideas and can't discuss the state of the community.

Yeah sure, maybe for you. Either way, it would keep the people who don't even scratch anymore, away.

If somebody isn't working on projects/has no ideas, then they don't really belong in scratch. If they want to continue scratch though, they can always discuss ideas on the Project Ideas forum

The whole forum is against you I imagine

It would be a ghost town here without the Miscellaneous Section. Also, everyone would blame it on the people who started this (GooglePlexPlus, and maybe Lucario621)

Yeah - everyone will hate you and it will be all your fault.
With no agreement there will be no move. I see no agreement.

Why three forums? That would take even more moderators. Seriously.
I'm seriously angry.
I wish you would read my post.
I wish you would seriously, read my post, and not just my title.

The Miscellaneous forum would be added to the current TBG forum, and the TBG forum would be renamed the other forum or something.

Good for you.

Actually the TBG forum could still be miscellaneous since it is miscellaneous... Since that means other stuff anyway.
Anyway, NO. I don't like this idea...
I never wanted TBG to go...

Naw, that's not really a good idea..........

I am actually supportive, I see no need for a misc. forum on the Scratch website.
