Moving the How the Magic Started Board

For some reason the How the Magic Started thread was moved from this sub-thread to it's own discussion thread, which has destroyed the traffic on that thread. Is there a reason for the switch?

@spark - Let's define the terms here so there is no misunderstanding.

A thread is a specific discussion, like this one.

A forum cell or board, is an area, such as Miscellaneous under a top level cell, in which threads of similar nature are kept/shown.

So here, you are talking about a top-level forum cell called How the Magic Started. I've changed the title of this thread to use the correct term.

To answer your question, How the Magic Started has been reorganised in order to separate discussions of strictly adult kink from recollections of personal childhood experiences. The two things should not be mixed.

Thanks for untangling the childhood-recalled posts from the adults. I like it better when they're separate, and I imagine others do, too. Much appreciated.

Yes, although the moderation team recognised it as a problem, there were a few members who expressed some discomfort with the mixing of these different areas of discussion. For example, one thing mentioned was the classification of childhood spanking discussions under the top level header of BDSM, which was clearly inappropriate.

And reorganising the content took more work than some might realise. Hundreds of threads needed to be moved.
