    Rather than having to post advice threads in Off Topic where they will instantly get fucked up, we should make a subforum for advice.

    Fuck no, if the fucks want advice let them post something on the off-topic place. Hence Off topic.

    The more the merrier. Would be less strain on guests having to sift through page upon page of topic title, and to be disappointed at almost every one. Let alone, having to switch from hundreds of pages, mostly comprised with rediculous signatures that take up space.

    I think there should be a division between the serious/more important threads and the rest.

    Lighthouse and Communist threads go in one corner, all the rest go into a "intelligent" corner.

    You have to be fucking joking. There is not a single person on this website I would take advice from.

    There is some good quality advice that comes from here you know. You should have more faith. Many people here are reasonably smart, and/or might have unique knowledge in certain circumstances. It's not all relationship advice. And the stuff that is relationship advice can be good. There is a lot of rubbish, but a lot of it is far from that.

    I personally feel & this view seems to be mirrored by the staff that such a section would be a bad idea, for starters we would need to impose a whole new level of protection for those sections, but less trivially it just opens too many avenues for abuse. If people are having problems I would sooner they spoke to a close friend, their parents or a professional in extreme cases rather than opening up to this entire forum.

    If members are having issues and for whatever reason want to discuss it with me for example, then they can do so confidentially, but my first advice will always be talk to a close friend about it.

    If it's just general advice with less emotional connection then off topic remains a suitable place.
