Decide the fate of these sections.
I find them to be pretty much the same thing, except news and library are slightly more defined. Technically the discussions that go on in all of them could probably all fit together.
So either:
1) merge all 3 into one new section
2) merge news and library
3) merge library and "everything else" (back to how it was, since library is a 'child' of everything else)
No poll, I want people to discuss it.

Merge News and Everything Else. The Library is where (IMO Pointless) serious discussion goes. Whereas news and... Everything else goes together.

News can have serious discussions too.
I'd rather go with option 3. But if I had the absolute say, I'd say keep them all separate still.

Uh...if something had to be merged, I think I'd nominate News and Library to be merged. I think the subjects in those two sections are more closely related. Everything Else is pretty much where you post whatever, like a serious Bean Rua.
But a new name for the merged Library and News should probably be a good idea. Maybe something like...I dunno, I can't think of a name. Just something that has to do with talking about real life happenings or whatever.
idek anymore.

Keeping them separate seems fine, but News and Library seems closer together, because the discussions for both are usually serious. The library to me, seems underused, and if it could merge with the News section, it could be kind of used a bit more. I like the option 2 the best, since it seems more organized.
And just leaving Everything Else as it is, depending on really, how much it's used.

Under 3 seems like the best option. Otherwise, it's fine as is.

While I really think they're distinct, News and Library could survive if merged. Everything Else is notably less serious than either of those two.

Either 2 or 3.
I generally avoid the library because of the mass amounts of debates that don't interest me or I just don't feel like reading through large blocks of text.
Maybe add tags (such as the market place [NA Ruairi, Mari, Tarlach, Alexina] etc ones) for use when a user specifically wants a serious discussion?

I agree with this, Everything else should remain just that, everything else, the news and library sections should either remain separate or merged together...Maybe to form like a new, the world section, which would just have news and serious discussion.

I don't really understand whats wrong with the way they are right now.
Are they going to cause the servers to blow up?

If news and anything get merged there should be optional tags for [NEWS].

I wish everything were kept separate to tell you the truth.
But if anything, merge News and The Library into something like "News & Debates."

Why couldn't I think of that...

I absolutely disagree with News being merged with anything. It's very distinct on its own, whereas The Library and Everything Else tend to just be completely random debates, possibly not based on anything (News tends to be based on, y'know, News). I think those two could be merged.
So, #3. Keep News how it is. Merge The Library and Everything Else. Not as a subsection, just as one forum. I hate subsections to be honest cause it's a real pain in the ass to have to have an extra click to see the newest/latest posts in that section. It's already an extra click to see anything in General Discussions.

News and library should be merged together. Rename them something like "Serious Discussion" and give an appropriate description.
