what i'm wondering is why all of a sudden threads have to be defended about why they are in the general bullshit forum

It's that way for lots of the forums. Like, there's been a Game of Thrones discussion thread in GBS and TV/IV and Book Barn and GiP and FYAD and probably YOSPOS and BYOB and PYF.

Actually let me reframe it in terms of a forum instead: I'm going to pick on YOSPOS for example because the mods there have done a good job in improving this. When the funny computer forum has megathreads for Game of Thrones, working out, favorite music, Diablo 3, bitcoin, politics, general chat, and loving cat picture spam, well then it's not a focused subforum anymore, it's a general forum that happens to have a few more computer threads than other general forums. Why do we even have subforums if that's what they're going to be?

This isn't necessarily bad (from a user's perspective it's fine), but it makes things a lot harder to organize, administrate, and moderate. Each subforum acts like an offsite that happens to be hosted onsite, and I don't want to administrate a dozen slightly different general forums, I want to administrate one forum: Something Awful. When you pay $10 for an account, it shouldn't be admission to one subforum of your choice where you camp out forever and never leave (unless you really are only interested in posting about that specific topic, that's fine too). Instead, your account grants you access to all of the SA Forums. Use them!

And of course there's some overlap; I'm not demanding that every topic be strictly categorized and indexed. Rather, I'm asking, on a case by case basis (and this thread happens to be such a case): "Does it make sense for this topic to be duplicated in another forum, in this case GBS? Or does it belong in the dedicated subforum, in this case YLLS?" There's no hard and fast criterion for making that decision, but that's what I'm asking about. Hope that helps explain where I'm coming from.

yeah that's understandable, but the reason these threads exist here and end up blowing up into the monstrosities they are though is because of how restrictive the other forums are. the swole thread couldn't exist in ylls and they don't want it.

You should allow duplication on the less rules intensive parts of the forum. In addition, never move anything to D&D because that forum is a black hole of stupid.

Also, yesterday was leg day and my legs are sore now.

IMO if a subforum is accumulating a shitload of offtopic threads, then that seems more like an issue with the on-topic forums not being approachable enough

sometimes thats unavoidable (nobody wants to tolerate GiP), but a lot of the time it could be taken care of by accomodating outside posters and reminding them that X forum exists

tldr tell shine to allow a relaxed swole chat thread in YLLS

I liked the old thread/this thread being in gbs because it's a lot less serious here. It's sort of like the difference between talking about a movie you liked amongst your friends at a bar or TGI Fridays(relaxed, cool GBS), and discussing it with professional movie critics in a classroom setting (Cinema Discusso). It's an entirely different atmosphere.
