Board Thread:Off-Topic Posts/@comment-31256456-20190814001916

I'm not a very popular user on the Town of Salem Wiki, and I am not nearly as active as many of the users here today. I expect that a lot of people will not be happy of what I say today. Yet, I do find fun in seeing which boards are active, which boards are not, and what is happening on the wiki.

There are some boards that are simply not used. This is a reality. There are boards that are not used because they are not relevant or useful to people. There are others that are used often, and provide a positive atmosphere. There are some boards that provide a less positive atmosphere and lean towards the side of negative.

This had me thinking: What if there was a way to organize the forum and condense boards that aren't needed, to promote more meaningful discussion instead of superficial 6-message esque threads?

Look. I have to be honest here, I miss the times when discussion was active everywhere, and every board was used. I miss the times when role reviews had tons of replies with useful and productive feedback for new users. I miss the times when we cared about things that weren't about Fun and Games. I miss authentic discussion, where we all united over our connections... it feels as if all discussion happens through superficial means, such as "reply below (insert blank)." And yet I've seen meaningful conversations happening before. SpicyJusticeLass's (Say What You Respect About The Person Below) is a perfect example of what I used to see on the wiki.

Perhaps what we need, is not to do what I did last time, but rather to present some form of a solution. There are some boards that are simply not needed right now, and are never used. These boards clutter up the wiki, and diverts discussion into several paths, all which die off quickly. If there were only a few boards present, perhaps discussion would last longer and be more meaningful overall. This is not a solution to everything I have mentioned, but it is simply a concept.

I want to hear discussion about this and your opinions on if this is a good idea or not. I will also be posting a poll below: (I had to search this up I'm so stupid lol) In your opinion, would it be a good idea to cut the number of boards that are currently present on the Town of Salem Wiki? Yes, I would cut many boards Yes, but only a few boards Not sure/Neutral No

also vertroyer if u see this please dont kill me this time im very very sorry about last time ok thx
