no reason to move it, i think it would be a bad idea and it would be annoying to have to keep going back and forth between forums. i'd probably just stop using the forums altogether.

I seem to have a different opinion of Miscellaneous - I consider it just a place for people to chat about whatever they want. Honestly, most of the topics there aren't Scratch related - people just want to chat about something, so they post the topic.
If people kept topics Scratch-related, I wouldn't hate Miscellaneous as much.

Well, I'm fine with some of the threads... sometimes I want to discuss matters with someone on Scratch, like the Olympics. But if I were asking users to guess what color my carpet was, that would be silly.

Stop bumping this. They need to forget all about it. XD

Exactly! That's pretty much how I feel about some topics too. But there is kind of a fine line between them.

It's supposed to be Inspiration. For projects. You know what those things are, right? Those things I made one of.

There's the project ideas forum though. They probably wouldn't have considered it until I&M was broken up.

Copying someone else's project ideas isn't my kind of inspiration.

Accually, some of the threads are for generating ideas. See my post on the other Misc. deletion topic.
(This is getting confusing, don't you think? Having two topics about the same thing!)

Not for me. I know exactly what posts there are and what replies I've used in each of the different topics.

The inspiration is in Project Ideas...

Demosthens makes a good point. This is the Scratch forums. I don't care whether we keep our post count or not, but I actually support this idea. However, due to few supporters, it probably wont happen, but I hope it does.

Actually 'Inspiration and More' was really Miscellaneous, Project Ideas, Collaborations, ad Request all rolled up into one forum section at one point (it was at my suggestion that it be split it to better accommodate for the various threads appearing there).
If you don't mind me asking: this topic is kind of fairly old and doesn't seem to cover later comments on the Scratch Team's view on Miscellaneous and it's role in the Scratch community. Why did you bump the thread?

One other question: Since the topic was "dead" and 10 months old, and you wanted to argue against it, wouldn't you stand more to lose by rehashing it, and making it open for more debate?
Just asking.
