why isn't this section in the "off-topic" category?

i think it belongs there because it is off of the main topic of this forum, which is stick animating. on the other hand, more popular boards are usually on top of the list for easier access.

maybe, just to fix some peoples' OCD problems(like me), you could place it in the well-organized "off-topic" category and place a link forum that redirects to that board in the general section. do you guys have any reason why keep it in this category, or why not move all the "off-topic" boards to this category and get rid of the "off-topic" category, as most boards in this section right here are off of the main topic of the forum?

I don't really see why it needs to be moved

I was just saying that the reasons aren't that great and don't see why it needs to be moved

or maybe, you could just stop for a moment and consider that this board has existed for many years, and that we have already considered and reconsidered every possibility for rearrangement of the forums, and found this layout to be the best?

That's like saying we should move the google search box farther to the left and 10,000 pixels down because it'd look better.

It just sounds stupid and it'd feel like a major inconvenience.

not to mention the rarity with which any admin would ever change anything

yeah, i guess you're all right. i was just having a brain fart and thought it would be more convenient, but now i realize it was a bad idea in the first place.

so, you don't have to look at em. It's a lot faster then going to each section of the forum.. unless you're only interested in like 1 or two of em.

Video Game chat, Main, LoTD, and that pretty much covers it. Every now and then General Help and Community Projects.
