But the subject was covered.
Yes, with Richard stating that there would be _no_ change regarding policy towards OT threads.

Interesting viewpoint. But thats kindof based on lack of action rather than "position" isnt it?
The fact that on many occasions in the past Richard has stated as much helps out... But, lack of a certain action for a 3+ year period is a good indicator of position on that action... Especially when the ability to take that action comes up frequently.

Are you feeling that it should be a "position" of Shrapnel that a thread cannot be moved from a game forum to the general forum?
Yes. See earlier post about specific communities, as well as Renegade13's post prior to yours.

Not from your point of view. But on many sites that does tend to lead to popup ads, banners, losing forum territory to side wings for links to other things on the site, or killing the ability to go directory to a forum without going to the main page first.
This is not many sites. This is Shrapnel. It is not like many other sites, and it should never be like such sites. What is your point?

Forcing Users to view the main forum page is pointless, and only harms the Users. There is no possible benefit that can not be emulated by critical announcements appearing at the top of every page or posted in all forums as is done now.
