I've had this thought before, but this time I'm going to make a topic. Does anybody else think Preaching and Worship is an unnecessary subforum? It's either going to be used to shunt away fundie trolls (which are not a problem like they were when it was first created) or to make threads which could easily be posted in Religion and Philosophy. It is also a dead section which leads to necro posting.
Seriously, go look at it. As of this writing 10 of the page one threads are locked (all for necromancy) and only two threads can be posted in without necroing a dead topic. Lock the subforum, put it on read-only, something. Its main contribution to the boards is giving people warnings for necro posting.

What ever happened to all of the Fundie Trolls, anyway?
I honestly do not see why that subforum died. To me, there's a clear divide: Religion & Philosophy is about srs bsns, while Preaching & Worship is about Fundieshit.
I'm going to go with "yes," because I am far too pessimistic to believe that it can be revived.

Fundie Babble threads can just go in Flame & Burn. I say we get rid of it.
On another note, Can someone tell me what the difference is between "General Board" and "FSTDT Lounge"?

I don't think it serves a meaningful purpose at this point. OFF WITH ITS HEAD!
Also, why is there no "quiz subforum" on this forum? Almost every other forum I've ever been on (even those with nothing to do with quizzes) had one.

If it actually kept fundie wharrgarbl away from the rest of the board, my vote would be on keeping it.
From what I've seen, though, it's not really effective to that end (or necessary, given F&B), so I think it can safely go bye-bye.

Seems entirely superfluous to me!

But my religion is very safe for work. It's actually best to share it with your co-workers, loudly and repeatedly!

Ironically, the answer is probably role players.

It has been floated a few times, but frankly if we have another one of them show up I'd rather have it to shunt into. That and I've been considering moving some other threads into it because of how remarkably preachy they are.

I can't believe I haven't done this yet:
Will it go back to normal if we...kill Preaching & Worship?
