I’m assuming it’s GQ. ---

At least one from this one, unless you want to add some vitriol 🙂 ---

Not sure why this one’s in the Pit, but I’ll kick it over to ATMB, though I don’t know if there’s a way to determine this from the board software. My opinion would be probably GQ to other places, since that forum’s a magnet for new users, and a lot of questions seem to venture into GD or IMHO territory. ---

It looks like I read what the BBQ was for, oops. ---

Misread, that is. ---

My complete WAG is IMHO. At least, that’s where most of MY moved threads started. Some of the ones I thought would garner poll-like results end up being MPSIMS when other people comment on my OP but don’t “submit” to the poll. Others are poll like, but are about entertainment, which I always forget, poll or no, goes to Cafe Society. And, of course, if an IMHO gets too [del]interesting[/del] heated, it’s whisked away to GD. ---

Am I the only one who was amused to see this thread moved? ---

I don’t know a definitive way to find that out, but I would guess GQ as well. I end up moving a lot of threads to IMHO that are asking for opinions or advice. The next most frequent move is probably from GQ to Cafe Society. ---

Well, actually, there’s a forum called “High Definition” from which every thread has been moved (that’s why you can’t see it on your screen)… ---

[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] Dear Mods: Move it again. Please? 😃 [/QUOTE] We actually did that to a thread once as an April Fool’s prank. Bounced it around from forum to forum giving random reasons 🙂 And the answer to the OP is GQ to IMHO without a doubt.
