.... did you just TL;DR us all, AND break the box with an unnecessarily large screenshot??

I'd definitely prefer to go subforums under general anime though, rather than full-blown front-page forums. I think it'd be better for general anime to have people going through that forum to get to the subforum, rather than having people ignoring it. I suspect a lot of threads get incidental traffic (and series get incidental notice) from people coming to discuss other shows, and I don't want to sacrifice that to save people a click. As well as I've got the LAMP stack tuned on this server, I think an extra page load isn't a big burden .

The category graveyard was more of a holding location for categories we retired. Now most of those categories are empty and could safely be deleted, and the ones that aren't empty could ... err ... also safely be deleted. But in its time it made sense to have it separate from the trash bin! And since only staff can see it anyway, who cares?
