One problem I see on the forums here is the amount of inactive forums. What are we supposed to do with them? Nothing: nope, doesn't solve the problem. Delete them: that just sounds wrong. Archive them: that sounds good.

On another forum I go on (I will not link it because the majority of the posts have profane content), they have a place for forums that are locked, permanently inactive, or are requested to be sent there. They call it the Great Below.

I am suggesting our forums that are inactive or closed, and are not site discussions, go into our own 'Great Below'. What would count as an inactive forum? Well if it's on a subject that will have no new information anytime soon, or has had no new posts in a long time (like 4 months). This can be up to some admin digression, and of course users can ask for a forum to go to the Great Below (On the website I go on they say 'gb pls').

This solves another problem: The Sonic Level Turney Broad. Since it was canceled, this forums serve no purpose, but would be a waste to delete them. Let's send it to the Great Below.

A good idea would be forums in the Great Below not to be locked (though there can be exceptions). If a user wants to continue a forum, move it out of the Great Below.

So, gb pls?

It doesn't even need to be called the Great Below
