Is there a way we could move it up the page to being above the BBQ pit? Maybe squeze it between Cafe Society and IMHO. It seems like everything else is similarly grouped–Technical things related to the site are up top, factual talks (GD/GB) are together, then we move progressively downwards as talk gets more mundane (IMHO\>MPSIMS). I know it seems silly and there’s not a whole lot of justification for it, but it just seems like it should be, well, below everything, in sort of a “fiery inferno of hate” sort of way. I can’t be the only weirdo who is thinking this. edit: OK, I posted this in the small window of time between the forum becoming visible and being allowed to actually post in it (where the suggestions thread is). I’m gonna c/p it. ---

Now all we need is a “Forum for the 15 weekly threads on whatever TV programs everyone is watching.” 😉 I must say I’m a little wary about how threads will filter out, particularly as so many franchise-based discussions in CS (Star Trek, D&D, etc etc) cross mediums all the time. Is this going to create a new level of ambiguity while quashing an old one? Only time will tell! **leaves, humming that [Asia tune](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6GhodMhcik) he’s now got stuck in his head** ---
