How are people new to boards supposed to know what GD means?

GD is so boring now because nobody knows what GD means so nobody goes there to generally discuss league... it's a dead forum.

Riot hates any place where they are criticized in, so Riot has decided to put all their efforts into getting people to never use or discover General Discussion

Or they can revert it back to good forums

The less new people, the better. They're preserving their innocence.

They don't want people to use it.

To be honest, I'm surprised GD even exists on the Boards. The concept of "general discussion" is part of what killed the old forums, since any possible topic can go there. Most of the other sub-forums died because all the traffic slowly moved to General Discussion, and I really don't want that to happen on the Boards.

Ye Riot, change that please :)

It's one of these ideas that sound so good before execution but then... just change it :P

They should rename boards to General discussion. Destroy all subreddits and there u go im as happy as ever.

They aren't, Rackier-sama

obviously they named it like this with intent to not see General Discussion rise again.

Also why is it at the bottom between "Sound and Music" and "Help and Support". Like wtf they seriously don't want people to use it do they?

My biggest concern is how GD doesn't have a "Hot" or "Best" sorting feature, which is clearly to prevent the most trafficked board from having threads calling Riot out on their nonsense being at the top permanently. This is very, very subtle and effective *censorship *and Riot should be ashamed of themselves.
