What if we took away general discussion from this new site?

Would you be mad?

Would it take away some of the trolling?

Because honestly, we are having some of the best discussions we have had in a while and we don't have a general discussion here at all.

In fact, I feel more inclined, if anything, to go to subforums I rarely visit.

Seeing all the toxicity and hard to fidn goo threaded-ness of the current GD, would we really be losing anything if we took it away?

Lots of rioters only go to the specific forums where they can offer expertise in the first place.

It would make it easier to talk to rioters about what we wanted to say if they paid more attention to where they should be.

The thing is, you don't "create" a GD, it simply spawns. If the community sees taht Rioters post more in 1 subcommunity, that's the subcommunity that will get everyone's attention and will snowball into GD (I call G&S)

If you look to the side you'd find that there is no General Discussion. There's several broad subcatagories for everyone.

There's already no "General Discussion".

"Memes & games" pretty much covers all of GD though.
