Here are the sides:
Pro:
It does not have a central topic, and thus, is not topical.
It is used for discussing issues.
Con:
It might take a few clicks for someone to move it, using valuable time and energy.
DEBATE!

I agree. This is absolutely necessary.

Not only is the DZ a place to discuss issues, but the clicks it would take to move it would burn calories for the person doing the clicking. Thus if they were, you know, fat, it would probably do them some good.

I think the time could be better spent changing the forum name to 'Beef 4.0'.
Or 'Extravagant Porno Fiesta!'.
Also for every laborious action an admin makes, it becomes harder to makes fat jokes about them.

I didn't know copy and pasting wiki articles counted as discussion.

There should be a list of things not allowed to be discussed, because they'd just turn into gay fail fests. Console wars and the cutting of flappy foreskins for example.
Does the location of DZ really bother you a lot?

Yeah, I agree with this. I could update the rules thread with a blacklist of topics.

It's just so wrong.

Flabby foreskins are a very pressing issue in today's society, though. But yeah it should be under topical forums. It bothers me not either way, it just seems logical is all.
It kind of feels like it belongs down here with the Tech Convention and Games and Surveys though, despite logic.
You know what I mean?
Probably belongs in The Dumps. Considering it's a dump and all.

It's on top of the Tech Forum and no I feel as if my forum is now less important, I call for an immediate move of the DZ.

What are your sources?
I don't need sources if it's common knowledge.

No, thats totally wrong. It is for debating issues. If you want to just talk about them, take it to the GF.

The discussion forums are the first things new recruits to the Explosm forums see when they log on. Do you really really want to give them THAT bad of a first impression?
