Scratch

Great ideas... But I still think that I like misc the way it is. 

Some relevance to Scratch would be nice, though. Many topics in misc are seriously silly. 

So... I agree with all of your points, but... I like misc the way it it. 

I'll go change it... ^_^

Yeah! Great idea! I'm afraid this may put more emphasis on the already large aspect of chatting on the website, though - and calling it "Off-Topic" doesn't necessarily encompass all of the topics in there. I think the name "Miscellaneous" should suffice.

Changing the description, I agree with - but I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of your description. Something like "This forum is for discussion topics not related to Scratch" sounds a lot more professional than "Whatever you want."

I agree 100%

  People all agree with at least one of the suggestions, but we don't all agree on the same one. 

1. I don't like changing the name, because then it further-more encourages people to spam more.
2. For the same reason as above.
3. That may the right idea in the mind but there's not much luck with that idea  .

DELETE MISC. That's where friends (t)roll together. 

We're not going to delete Miscellaneous.

I say make a new one on the same website as the TBG's, and archive the old one.

I answered that before, too:

I daresay I have suggested this directly to the Scratch Team, and after lengthy (as an understatement) discussion, me and the rest of the moderators have decided that it's rather impractical for a number of reasons I won't bore you with here.

However, I will give you the main issue: The TBGs are almost entirely community-run. This is simple with something like the TBGs where very few fights break out, and very rarely; however, on Miscellaneous, spam-like topics and flame wars break out almost consistently. Without the intervention of the Scratch Team as a largely patrolling force of the current moderating team, us moderators would be absolutely worthless. If Miscellaneous were moved to its own section, the new forum would be left with plenty of moderators who know nothing about what they're doing.

We've discussed this in so much detail that you won't believe it.
