Why are some sections of this forum hidden?

[Smack]

I don't mean the moderators section - it's obvious as to why that's hidden - but other sections like the site feedback and suggestions one, the one about NLP and Speed Seduction (people even still post in that one occasionally!) and the success stories? I see no reason for them to be hidden, especially the site feedback and suggestions one. And it's not even as if these sections are hard to find either. Plus, they are still fully functional; they just don't appear on the main forum index.

Seems odd to me.

Speed Seduction: Wasn't popular enough

Success Stories: See above

Suggestions and Feedback: Kept getting the exact same suggestions for a while, then stuff turned into a flame war between members and even some members and moderators.

And so if it isn't popular enough, it needs to be hidden? Odd, methinks. Regarding the suggestions and feedback, if the exact same suggestions were getting repeated ad infinitum, then perhaps it would have been a good idea to implement them.

It's hidden because if it is deleted, you *cue dramatic music* can't see the posts, period. With it being hidden, the people that know how to find it can look back over any treasures that are in there.

With the S&F forum, the suggestions that were being asked are already implemented things (age, new colors, forum ideas (you can thank the revival of the "Mature Man" section to them and some persistent moderators too)), things that CAN'T be implemented on this software, or asnine suggestions ("Ban *insert poster here* because they said my post was stupid!").

*Sigh*

I've been here WAYYYYY too long. :crazy:

how can we see these forums ? if they are only hidden ?

They are not really truly hidden; they only do not appear in the forum index. Google them and you can get the links.

Too me, a far better solution would be to move some of the good posts that are in these hidden areas into a non-hidden area. Even the archive.
