Has any topic ever been moved from IMHO to MPSIMS, or vice versa? ---

[Here is a thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=772598&highlight=MPSIMS+moving) which was moved to MPSIMS by Asimovian, who is a mod in IMHO. So, probably? ---

Yes, that is fairly common. Any particular reason you were wondering? ---

There are probably few forum moves that have never been made. Threads have even been moved out of the BBQ Pit to other forums. One April Fools Day we had one thread that one mod after another moved to some other forum. ---

Interesting that ā€œWhatā€™s Your Favoriteā€ is the title of a thread in Thread Games, while at the same time being the designated exemplar of a thread suited for IMHO. ---

I think the distinction can sometimes be fairly small between the two forums. But I donā€™t think itā€™s all that unusual for me to have moved things from IMHO to MPSIMS. I have tended to do so when Iā€™ve thought it was fairly clear that the poster was making a ā€œIā€™m sharing this interesting factoid with you guysā€ post as opposed to ā€œIā€™m seeking peopleā€™s opinions on this question/topic.ā€ Many thread OPs often have some blending of the two, and in those cases, I wouldnā€™t relocate the thread. ---

> [@jtur88](#): > > Interesting that ā€œWhatā€™s Your Favoriteā€ is the title of a thread in Thread Games, while at the same time being the designated exemplar of a thread suited for IMHO. I suspect the strongest reason for this is the forum description for IMHO was written years before Thread Games came into being. It also depends on the intention/direction of said thread. For example, I would say ā€œWhat is your favourite way to serve chili?ā€ sits best in Cafe Society, ā€œWhat is your favourite football team?ā€ would do best in The Game Room, ā€œWhat is your favourite way to subtly insult someone?ā€ could be IMHO, while a thread where the stated purpose is to post things like ā€œMy favourite colour is red. Your turn.ā€ is clearly a thread game (disclaimers: I am not a mod, and I donā€™t know what the currently active thread actually contains).
