If you have noticed recently, Aero briefly changed the Bug and Help boards to forced redirects to their respective masterthreads. And I always reverted these changes when I found them.
And what happened next? Debate, obviously.
Aero's arguments:
- Turning the boards to forced redirects makes things easier and more simple, as you can just click the board and see the information.
My arguments:
- That will effectively render the old threads in these boards inaccessible.
- You can't make new threads in these boards, and the Bug board requires a new master thread for every new major version.
- The Bug board is also for balance. If this change is in place, then the 'balance' part will effectively become decrepit.
- Most people wouldn't mind the single click to get to the master threads.
Aero's arguments (cont.):
- He can make a new balance board.
- He can move the old threads to Hell for archive.
- He can renew the redirect about the Bugs to a new master thread for every new version.
(But I'm not sure he will bother to update it or not.)
So we're here, looking for the wisdom of the members again.
