Yes it has been brought up before.

> Much of MPSIMS is mundane and pointless. But much of it is not. Right now, the breaking news thread on the Ukraine war thread is running there. On Sept 11, the was also a long thread. There are threads about the death or illness of fellow Dopers, etc. That’s all pretty serious stuff…and the forum title should reflect it. A while back, the mods re-named General Q to Factual Questions…A very simple change, and a good one. I suggest we do the same with MPSIMS.

I don’t think that there are enough of those kinds of threads to warrant an entire forum.
