The selection of message boards is entirely random and follows zero logic. Topics that should have dedicated places of discussion, such as Science/Technology and Health/Fitness, are drowned out on the OT. Or, the threads are often adulterated with memes, trite jokes, and superficial comments.

Conversely, topics like Money and Soccer somehow have dedicated places for discussion, despite the fact that these are the two slowest non-utility boards on the site (by a significant margin).

Yeah... I suppose the other boards have increased overall traffic to the point where it would be stupid to do away with them.

I don't think that those topics would necessarily bleed over into the OT otherwise. To what extent does the presence of specialized boards draw out specialized posters... and to what extent would those posters be hurt by eliminating their boards?

More importantly... the dumb arse topics wouldn't survive very long over here. The OT is the Australian Outback and the other boards are like the Cleveland frickin Zoo.

Bottom line here, TD has way too many posters and too much daily traffic for everything to be on one board. It's better this way.

Probably true... there are just so many idiots over there. God... so many idiots. And a lot of them think they are smart... but they are borderline mentally challenged.

Telling MSBers to get rid of the soccer board is like telling Custer to get rid of the Sioux reservation and let Crazy Horse and his pals hang around the fort

I would say that my efforts to establish a Tech board are commensurate with your past efforts campaigning for a Music Board. .

I agree - there should be multiple boards. However, the whimsical nature with which boards have been added over the past decade has created an incredibly odd selection of boards.

Some, obviously, make sense, like Movie/TV, Political Talk, etc.

Others most certainly do not.

What they need to actually do is create a Horndog board and Single and Lonely board. That way the horndogs can have their NSFW jerk fests and the hard/wetleggers can dry bump each other all day long.
