That's definitely a good suggestion to implement. The difference between those two is often already blurry.brimstoneSalad wrote:I'd merge:

Re: Ways to Make The Forum Better - Suggestions
Science and Technology has been made into a new thread called Off-Topic Discussions Serious. I have moved out a lot of the non-serious content into the renamed "Off-Topic Discussion Fun". Serious topics that once were in the old Off-Topic Discussions, have been moved into the Serious forum.
Do you find the forum to be quiet and inactive?

What do you think about the 'Youtube Fan Suggestions / Requests & Forum Support' merge?

Re: Ways to Make The Forum Better - Suggestions
I thought about it, but they are fundamentally different. Youtube suggestions is for ideas and requests for my youtube videos, while the Support page is for the forum. I also didn't add any new forums, only repurposed/renamed ones we already had, so we don't have more forums then we did before the change.

Re: Ways to Make The Forum Better - Suggestions
Perhaps this has been proposed before, excuse me if it has, but some way of showing appreciation of a post without replying to it would be nice. An example of how this could be done:
On another forum I'm active on you just have a little thumbs up button with the prescription 'say thanks to the author of this post'. Everybody has a 'has thanked' and 'been thanked' counter and you can click on the number to see which posts he has thanked or been thanked for. I really like this system because it allows you to do what I said before, along with giving you an impression of what kind of posts are well received by your fellow forum members.
