I feel like we did actually have a fairly good discussion in TS with Darkshade and Noad yesterday. We didn't want pinned threads (with maybe the exception of the Laidback Zone), and we didn't want a bunch of "general" threads when individual threads had enough activity to warrant their own threads (ie: the video game threads floating around, Hearthstone, HotS, etc). It sounded like they were on board with our ideas there.
Went on for a good while asking our opinions on whether certain threads were worth keeping around or purging, and how certain "event" threads (like big sporting events, steam sales, new pokemon games, etc) should be handled.
