I dont see the difference between the first and second board. Only makes navigating to the most used board harder and in the two main boards only very little gets posted anyway. It’s not that all these boards get spammed with information. ---

Yup, you’re right. I think it would be best to keep the map childboard, but remove this one. Like you said, this board doesn’t really contain that much information anyway, so we could just keep it in the main HL2 board. ---

Alright, here’s the deal. Since I can’t merge that board with another, I only have two options, keep it and everyone can deal with it, or I delete it altogether, and all of the posts made in that forum will be lost. It’s too much of a pain in the ass for me to move all 63 topics to this forum, so I’m not going to. ---

I might hack away at the database and see if I can mass move them when I get my internet back. And break other things. Backups are magic. ---
