Frankly I think Jason's has far too many forums. We need to consolidate, not make more forums. The past has proven that if you split one topic-entity into several more forums you pretty much will sentence some of those new forums to an eventual death.
As for the forum games, I can't stress enough how pointless these are. Saying that people will just re-make them is no reason to keep the board. It's simple: don't allow pointless topics. They add nothing to the forum, and the people who post in them don't get much of anything out of them. We can do better than that.
Also, I changed my mind about The Museum.
Consolidation! Now we're talking. I've been saying this for quite a long time now. Mino and I have quite a few of the same ideas, I realized, after typing this.
-Condense Brewster's Cafe and Off Topic into one board. Is a what is considered 'spam' board worth even having?
-I know that this will never happen, but ditch the Animal Crossing theme. Seriously, Jeremy, just give it up. It's a dead game. Make one video game category, one forum for each platform OR company. (PC, XBox 360, PS3, Wii, handheld) (Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony)
-Get rid of the bell system and marketplace.
-Three categories:
One for The Bell Tree (with one forum for announcements and discussion, or two)
One for video games (see above)
One for bull*censored.2.0* (with two forums, one Off Topic and one Museum)
