Abolishing Common Forums

The least private hidden forum that Micras has ever seen. Restricted access to a citizen of any Bastion nation. So that's only, what, 80% of the active microworld these days?

Abolishing Common Forums

This was brought forward by someone in that largish empire in the north and it is an interesting point, there is an awful lot of talk in these common forums which takes away talk from the micronations. Do we really need these common forums when all non-shitty nations have their own general discussion forums? Administration is an exception of course...

It could be cleaned up somewhat, but I am sure I will miss the love- and hatethreads. ;)

They could be held in other forums, given that they were started by Rickyboy in Hurmu for example which would then have some activity as well...

To clarify:

I don't mind somewhere for off-topic macroworld discussion on Bastion, but aside from the admin section I think all discussion concerning micronations themselves are better off conducted within those micronations, for the benefit of all our respective homelands activity-wise.

Are you publicly calling my nation "shitty"??

No. Though if I'm pressed to submit my opinion I would say that any nation which opposes the natural order is shitty.

If people didn't want to talk in common forms, they wouldn't.

They do, so they do.

If these forums were empty, it would be a different story. But they're not.

Some are used. I vote we make 'Lifestyle', 'Economics' etc. subforums within Gen Disc as a designated off-topic international area so we don't have to scroll past dead categories every time we need to get to the constituent nations. Of course, like many of you I use the 'view new posts' page but sometimes I do use the main forums and then I notice these redundant fora.

Having to announce when I return once a year in every micronation would be a disincentive to me.
