General Discussion VS Hangout Area

[MangaD]

Let's just move every not serious topic from general discussion and call it "improvement". Real life pic, a member who is back "Hi" thread, warcraft movie trailer, news about dragon ball super. let's merge this http://lf-empire.de/forum/showthread.php?tid=476 with another "birthday thread"
And by checking threads in "General discussion", I found that almost everything outthere is just a "hangout".
The only serious topic is LF2 IRC topic.

Real life pics should go to Hangout Area too imo. "Hi" thread probably to the Disposal?

About the other threads you mentioned, I think they are fine in General Discussion. Because they are actually debating a topic or presenting with new information.

The B-day and real life pics threads are basically just a hangout between forum members, nothing serious that everyone should be "notified" about at the Overview imo.

The Quotes thread is arguable I guess, but due to random senseless quotes being posted there, it kind of annoys me. What actually made me start this thread in the first place.

You are an active member so you may not notice it, but there are a lot of users who check this forum on a regular basis but rarely post anything. I don't think those members check the forum because of the Hangout Area, otherwise they would participate too. And having the Overview cluttered with these threads is a hassle sometimes.

But well, if it afflicts you that much, I guess we should forget all this. It seems to cause to you more trouble to move those threads than to me seeing the Overview cluttered occasionally...
