How come they're always screwing up the simple judgment call of where a thread belongs? Nadin and Big Steve always post local news that nobody cares about. Steve will create a thread in GD when a dog dies.
Because General Discussion is where the cool kids hang out, and the primitives like to think they're one of them.
Actually, there's very few primitives who are cool, but the lesser ones try anyway.
If I were my fellow alum Skins, I'd make it so that primitives are assigned certain forums where they can post, and be locked out of the others, given their temperaments and posting history. For example, I'd let Atman post only in the mental health and conspiracy forums, and nadin only in the California forum.
That would help boost traffic to the smaller forums, and clean up General Discussion quite a bit.
