We’ve all seen how they are trying to find ways to make life easier on the SDMB servers. They are pruning old threads, and there are always requests to not repeat posts, etc.

Well, what if they decided that to really save space on the server, they would combine forums? For example, what if they decided to combine General Questions and the BBQ Pit?

How would the responses to the questions currently posted in GQ look?

I’ll leave it up to those with a better sense of writing than me to come up with the responses…

Probably much like this one. I know, you’re looking for humor. Sorry, this ain’ it.
