There really isn’t any major cost to keeping. If we moved the threads and removed the forum (category) completely, it would clean up the categories drop down by a little, but that seems pretty minor. However, if and when we do close QZ, I’ve already tagged all the threads and wrote up directions to do mass moves to other forums if that is how we go. Most of this is covered in the linked to thread. > [@Poll: Should we retire the Quarantine Zone?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-should-we-retire-the-quarantine-zone/996173/65): > > Every thread in #The Quarantine Zone should now also be tagged #covid-quarantine. This would be step one in whatever we do next. Renaming the tag is fairly easy if covid-quarantine is not desired. But I believe 25 characters including the spaces (dashes) is max. Only lowercase letters allowed. @Ed_Zotti @engineer_comp_geek @Chronos @puzzlegal @Aspenglow @Miller @Loach @raventhief @RickJay --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-we-still-need-a-quarantine-zone/1000738)._
