As you may have noticed, things have been changing here at MTGS. With the site layout change, we're also moving forward with a reorganization of our non-Magic forums, Community Forums. We've taken a good look at the numbers for the various sub-forums and are either merging or retiring a number of forums. We will begin this process Friday, May 5th 2017. When it's finished, Community Forums will look like this:
Community Forums
Community Discussion
Talk and Entertainment
Mafia
Other Forum Games
Creativity
Test Forum
Community Discussion
-Forum Software Feedback and Bug Reports
-Forum Rules
-Staff Helpdesks
-Staff Inbox
-Introduce Yourself (Stickied thread)
Talk and Entertainment
-Clans
-Movies
-Sports
-Printed Media
-Real Life Advice
As you can see, we will be moving Forum Games and Creativity under the Community Forums umbrella, and while Mafia will remain its own forum, all other forum games will be merged. Due to the overlap between Water Cooler Talk and Entertainment over the years, the two forums will be merged into Talk & Entertainment. We're attempting to remove as much nesting as possible on these new sub-forums.
In addition to the indicated changes, you may have noticed a number of forums aren't currently on the list. That's because Introduce Yourself's function will be incorporated as a stickied thread in Community Discussion rather than be its own forum, and Clans (to the extent they're still around) will become a subforum of Talk & Entertainment.
Forums being retired without replacement include Speakeasy, Wiki, and Debate. Speakeasy topics can largely be moved to Talk & Entertainment, while the Wiki is no longer under MTGS but is instead now under Gamepedia management. Debate is closing due to the high demand on staff time for a non-Magic subforum that represents a tiny fraction of site activity.
