When the forum is retired? Need answer fast… ---

I don’t know. Is that fast enough? 😃 ---

Still To Be Determjned. Under discussion. ---

Is there any way to hide them, and keep them hidden from forum searches, for an entire year? (In the same way the mod forums are hidden.) That way in a year from now you can bring “Boo!” back and have a whole forum full of Zombies. Rip Van Winkle Zombies. ---

Ha! The posting dead! Actually, we’ll probably close the forum to new posts and make it a subforum of MPSIMS. We’ll move anything out that’s still ongoing and not 100% Halloweeny. And next year … perhaps the Great Pumpkin will rise again! But we’re still discussing it. Was this a worthwhile thing for you, was it fun, would you like another holiday-themed area? Let us know. And … is there enough traffic for “Turkey Talk?” ---

What about the embedded photos? Will they disappear? ---

Nothing should “vanish.” You just won’t be able to make posts there. Unless, of course, it’s like Brigadoon, here today and gone tomorrow. But I suspect that would not be well received. ---

**Tuna,** to answer your question, I think the Boo forum was great. I like the idea of having a special ‘holiday’ forum, at least for the big ones. ---

Please, _please_ do this for [“Revenge of the Mad Scientist”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=628161)! It’s very much ongoing and only superficially Halloween-y, and if you closed it, I’d have to do something drastic. Like, the actual work I’m paid to do. Don’t make me do that.
