So "someone" has made Disturbing Discussion into a sub-board Menacing Miscellaneous.
Why?
I liked it better before, when it was on the main page. Easier to acess.
Edit: Also, Sam just pointed out to me that the 0062 board is a sub-board in the archive section. You can still post, though.
Again, why? I'd suggest just transporting all the threads into the archive, and then deleting the board, if that was the intention.

DDisc as a subboard of MMisc doesn't in any way reflect DDisc's purpose. Cheerless Characters is a subboard of Sardonic Series, for example, because character-related discussion and polls are part of a general discussion of the series. However, MMisc is explicitly not a place for serious or disturbing discussion, and the board's always been kept separate to reflect the fact that the discussion style and contents there is more mature. Additionally, anyone new to the site would get the impression, on the front page, that there was no place for serious debate or discussion, and likely wouldn't check in MMisc because it's an illogical place to put the board. This decision doesn't make sense on a number of levels, and is overall a detriment to the site. I think it should be reverted immediately and DDisc put back in its former place next to GGames.
Also, as pointed out, making 60023101 a subboard in AAArchives doesn't properly archive it; people can still post there, which defeats the very purpose of the archives. The threads in 60023101 need to be moved out of the board and into AAArchives to make them properly sealed (at which point the 60023101 board would be empty and should probably be deleted, as I believe was ADR's original proposal). And if 60023101 is to be archived, then the Q&A thread should be un-Announcementised.

i disagree, DDisc is like what MMisc would and should be like if people posted sensible(ish) arguments and had leave to discuss certain issues, , i see it as a more refined part of MMisc, it's like MMisc is a Mall in a town somwhere, and DDisc is the small but classy gentlemans club near the back.
we need DDisc cigars
however the description for MMisc should be changed to reflect the DDisc housed within

Ah, I thought something was up when I saw the Menacing Miscellaneous boards without DDisc……

I hope everyone is OK with this minor change! I'm not. What was the reasoning for it? I mean, I haven't got a huge problem, it's just a minor inconvenience. I just can't fathom why you moved it. It's not in any way better this way.

Oh well I guess I just wanted to make the front page thing look tidy-er. Plus since some of the stuff in DD is kind of offensive I didnt want it to be showing on the front page either.

Oh. Well, I guess that's ok then.
I'll manage to live with this great burden, somehow. Live goes on.

Don't complain, PJ! You're lucky we have an admin that was kind enough to not delete the entire board!

Oh well I guess I just wanted to make the front page thing look tidy-er. Plus since some of the stuff in DD is kind of offensive I didnt want it to be showing on the front page either. I think DD's section description nicely covers that, and plus I try to delete the posts that are just offensive with no actual content. And next time you move a board like this, it'd be better if you made some announcement of it, or perhaps asked for our opinions before moving it. I suppose we'll get used to this, but I still don't really see the point of it, and it's a bit annoying having to click into an extra section to see if there's any new posts in DD. Also, as previously noted, you should unsticky the Q&A thread and disable posting in that archived board(or move all the threads to the Archives and just get rid of it) if your intention is to tidy things up.
