Who will be in charge of sorting all of the threads that are already there?

If you are thinking I'm going to do it, then I don't like it as much.
Ain't nobody got time for that.

I rarely, if ever, happen over to OT, so I don't really know/care, but it seems to me like OT is and should be just an area for whatever people want to talk about.

agent was arguing that it wasn't sorted at all and should stay that way, if we've already started sorting the forum we might as well do it properly. Which would mean that politics should get a subforum of it's own and probably the same with religion and science. So hah..... I'm right again !

OT is sorted into discussion threads and games. that's enough.

then you should vocalise your belief because no one else has provided a good argument for changing it.

1) It's not very active as is. Debanding a low-activity forum into multiple, smaller forums, could result in more and less active forums.
2) I posit that there is a direct correlation on how the number of clicks needed to get somewhere affects the activity of that area. A 3rd level subforum further dividing something that isn't very big seems to be work for the sake of being work
3) The volunteerism required to sorts many, many pages of threads into their appropriate forum, many of which count as both, since threads take directions and go off-topic from the original post.
4) In junction with 2, a sort of "one-stop shopping" approach is arguably better than forcing users to look in different places.

Is it not active? I always feel like it's really active when I go in there. Maybe that's a perspective thing.
