I agree with TA, news should be separated. Everything else + library.

I'd prefer if News was kept separate. I go to the News section for well NEWS of course. Everything Else I rarely if ever Visit and I don't touch the Library that often either. I'd say Merge Library and Everything Else. For me Library and Everything Else seems like the same exact thing to me.

Why not just get rid of The Library and keep the other two separate?
I mean, I feel like Everything Else and The Library are similar, yet different. I can't really think of many things that are in The Library that couldn't go into Everything Else.

I wish everything were kept separate to tell you the truth.
But if anything, merge News and The Library into something like "News & Debates."
I agree with this idea.
I would rather not merge, but if they want the Library to merge, then I don't have a problem with it.
Although I don't want the News section to merge at all - it's a subsection of it's own, and doesn't really go with the others :stress:

#3.
News is about news. Debates are for debates. But debates barely get any usage at all, so it can go back to everything else, which also doesn't get very much usage.
And then we can throw in a creative section or something.

Of the three, I think News is more distinct. I'd rather keep everything separate but if there's a merge I'd go with Everything Else+ The Library.

I would rather keep News separate as well.

I think it's fine the way it is. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I think its a matter of organization. Too many boards will make the forum a clutter, and its all in order to make the transition to add yet another board (on top of the many we've been adding over the year).
News, Everything Else, and Library aren't entirely popular boards. Merging some might help clean things up a bit.
That said, Everything Else is already "discussion of anything that isn't spam", meaning its in the mindset of being serious to begin with. Therefore I don't see why Library is entirely necessary.

News should stay news. Everything Else should stay everything else. I don't think Library properly fits into either of these categories. I would prefer they all remain separate. But since that is not the question Osay asked, I will say that of the 3 options I support #3 the most. While I think that the types of discussions (though few) that do go on in the Library are usually very different than those that happen in Everything Else, I think that News is more distinct than both Library and Everything Else, and should be kept by itself.

If The Library went into "Everything Else" maybe we could have a [Debate] tag or something..

Always room for improvement.
I'd say #2, they're the most related.
