Why is this thread a stickie at the top of "Flea Trap". Who needs to see this every time they view this category, it's from over 2 years ago and no longer relevant.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT SITE MOVE!

Well, because it's important! Why else would it be there?

It is no longer sticky. I can do that.

That's a good start. How about the 2 categories that only have 1 subcategory in them.

Every sub has multiple threads. What are you talking about?

The Flame Pit has one subcategory, the Guest Net.

The Flame Pit should be removed altogether and the Guest Net replaces it as the Category heading.

It's not important, it's there because it WAS important and no one thought to deal with it several years later when it was no longer relevant.

Diverse Debates is another Category that only has one subcategory which is Politics. There's no reason to have to click on a Category to go to the sub category when there's only one. Its extra clicks, more navigating and a waste of home page space.

Politics and Guest Net should be moved into the General Discussion Category with the other active threads, and Diverse Debates and Flame Pit removed entirely.

I still haven't seen any improvement in the porn.  Somebody's head will roll for this.

I just use the "unread posts" button.

Sure there are different ways to accomplish the same thing but that doesn't negate the fact that the home page layout is screwy with 2 top categories having only 1 subcategory.

Do you get that same white box with black lines when you click on "Alert"? That's really freaking annoying.
