I've been thinking on this for a few days with the recent issue that's come up and I believe I've come to enough of a decision to ask for opinions before having it pushed through.
I believe restructuring the subforum itself would be optimal. What we currently have is fairly outdated and clumped together in an awkward way. Here's what I'm suggesting right now:
1. ISO Archive unstickied entirely. All the information in it can be added somewhere else (most likely the 101 thread) and that thread hasn't been updated consistently in a long time. It's just taking up space right now.
2. Replacement Request, General Discussion, IRC Mafia, and Mod Queue moved down to sticky. This is just to separate the important things needed to play from the 'discussion'.
3. All normal games unstickied. This really shouldn't be any problem, since threads that are inappropriately bumped can just be locked. If it gets confusing, we can start using a tag system of some type to indicate which games are ongoing.
4. General Discussion title changed to General/Set-Up Discussion. This will tie into the next point.
5. Set-ups that are experimental and looking for balancing help, etc. should be posted in the general topic instead of the mod queue. Once it's ready, it can be posted in the mod queue as normal. However, once the game topic is made, the (open) set-up is locked. No more significant edits can be made to it.

I personally don't see much of a problem with this, but I want to know what everyone else thinks beforebugging asking dkun someone to make all these changes.
