Due to the recent demand for board removal, I've started this poll to officially see how many are in favor of it.
The main boards that are candidates for removal are the links board and the polls board.
If people have other ideas, they should explain.
I personally think the links and polls board should be taken off as they almost always cross with the other boards.

i say remove the polls board, i mean that one has no point what so ever
the links board i think is useful actually, just to have all the links that i want to check out when im bored in the same place

I say remove both... links board makes it harder to find stuff actually, since some links are posted in the links board, and some in other boards, that makes the links board just another board you have to check. The polls board is pointless and everything there can probably go to the general board.

I think we should absolutely get rid of the polls board...and maybe the links board, for reasons stated above

i think we should ditch the polls board but keep the links board because its useful for finding things
the reason arachis' argument doesn't mean anything to me is because, of course theres going to be a bunch not on there, the board wasn't there as long as the forum has been, with time all the links should be there

I agree with JP. Even if the links board is not perfect, we should still keep using it in the future.

Ditto on removing polls.
also scrap school help (the material there has only added up to a page, and I feel that posting those things on the general board would get more replys anyway)
And down with tips/cheats board. Anything there could easily go to one of the other gaming boards and it also has only acumulated one page of threads.

I agree. I still think that it would become stupid to have all the links on one board when they arent organized. I would much rather look through the arts board looking for an art link, than look through the links board looking for an art link. I think thats really what it amounts to. Also not all the links will be on the links board, because thats the way things have and will happen. Even now, not every link goes on the links board, and if it becomes forum policy to move those threads, then users choice will become restricted again.

yeah, lev there does have a point, tips and cheats could easily be moved into gaming because no one posts there like ... ever (the best place for cheats and tips is cheat code sites)
the school help board does not serve much use either, i mean seriously, people with short term homework problems and such will not get them solved in time with this forum
polls board goes down, i think thats unanimous
links board im starting to change my mind at, maybe it would be better if there was a sticky on the top of each board with all links stored in that board being re-posted onto that sticky, just for quick referance. Thats just an idea tho, as long as links are organized and ready for a bored day, im fine with it.
people, im amazed at how this forum is so flexible and democratic that it allows us to do such things, i mean for some other forums id think putin was leading them
cheers to pavel and the mods!

links sticky at the top of each forum is an interesting and good idea, i'd be for that but the time that it would take to get all the crap from the links board into stickies may be troublesome
and about this forum being democratic, remember the movement for mod elections, where a lot of it started *grumble*. . . . (if you don't know, do not ask unless its in PMs i'm NOT going to try to sustain any discussion about it on the boards)

I agree... that whole thing was a stupid attempt by terrance who was on a power struggle, and ended up tearing the forum apart.

Can the Polls board and the Tips/Cheats board. They're both pretty useless.

While we are at it, the homemade games board seems to have drifted off from its original purpose. Now it is more of an RPG board than a homemade computer games board. Perhaps we should rename it.

Sorry, just a pet peeve, use better examples this has never happened. The current list for deletions is: -Links -Polls -Schools Help -Tips/Cheats Possible renaming: -Homade Games -> RPG board
