This. The forum is called NationStates, people. It's for a game, not for Why Abortion Is Evil/What's Your Favourite Book/Guess The Blank. People can start their own forum if they want that crap.
And get rid of "International Incidents" and "Factbooks and National Information" too, they're just breeding grounds for n00bs who are dragging down the quality of the forums. Delete "Moderation" as well, since people only ever use it to complain about shit; it's unproductive. And "Got Issues?" Who the hell cares about issues? I mean, apart from Sirocco. Hell, half of the players don't even answer them anymore. For that matter, "Gameplay" is pretty useless as well, since regions can already post their ads on the feeder messageboards and it's not like we care about anything else that goes on in that forum. Plus, think of the bandwidth we'd save.
Hell, think of the bandwidth we'd save if the game got shut down altogether and we all just went and got internships in local government offices and wrote our own blogs about it.
