Various Subsections

[Xier0]

I've noticed a few subsections that, as far as I can tell, aren't particularly necessary or useful. For example

http://www.sythe.org/showcase-archives/

The description for this section is "All old, locked, and deleted posts will be moved here." It seems kind of unnecessary since old, locked, and deleted posts in every other section just stay in the main forum. Furthermore, there was no thread moved there in over a year.

I get that you feel that the section is unnecessary, I think removing such sections is unnecessary.

Sounds like the sort of answer I would expect from the SFA section

To an extent, you are correct, but it isn't that much effort for the sake of consistency and navigation.

Well, all we'd be doing is moving it to a subsection of the Archives. We never delete content. Still I think it's fine where it is really. People interested in graphics can browse there easier. That said, if you find others, you can always PM Roary and see if he's up for it.

The threads would be better off being moved to http://www.sythe.org/graphics-gallery/ rather than just making it a subsection of the archives IMO. I may just be missing the purpose of having archives for these sorts of sections.

There's a deleted sticky that only staff can see which mandates that closed threads be moved to the archives. "Since this is showcase, closed threads are of literally no use. If they're archived, they're still indexed for searches but users cannot post."

I don't really care for that rule. If there's some merge option in the acp then I'm sure Roary would be willing to just merge it into the gallery.

I'll PM this thread to Roary then and see what he thinks, you can close it.
