Can we have a dedicated forum for >>ASK<< threads?

They are really clogging up the OTD.

Isn't there basically only two actually active ASK thread? (3 if you count blame cosmo). I don't see how that is clogging up the OTD forum.

Forums are way too long, someone should do something about that....

They are 5 (of 10 spots) on the front page right now.

7 were posted to in the last 24 hours (which is how many were on the front page when I made this request)
11 have been posted to in the last week.

Nope. "Ask" threads tend to come and go out of fashion, and while we understand it can get annoying to see them a lot, we do have a hide feature for this reason.

Ok, can we have hidden posts not count against the front page display limit?

D'oh, did not realize that was a behavior that's occurring. Yes! We should fix that, and I'll add it to our forums wishlist.

I was going to ask that if you did provide such a forum, that you build a Hide button for it as well.

All subforums can be hidden by clicking the triangle next to them on the main Messageboard page.
