Allow me to cite the ancient texts:

The undercurrent of this thread, it seems.

I am genuinely surprised so many people hate a subforum that they can easily ignore, it's humorously perplexing at this point. However, I support this decision. Even outside of the search engine issues, hiding the subforum might prevent edgy spergs from signing up just to post stupid shit in megathreads, like with the Tarrant megathread.
 
Fuck. Now I have to be a newfag instead of a lurker. Kind of like when they make you sign up to see the good midget porn. Oh wait, that wasn’t very PC of me. I meant new exceptional individual.

more related to the topic, I wasn't aware of the plagiarism detection in search engines. I have had instances where I went down a rabbit whole of trying to find where some articles originally came from, and I've seen whole sections of articles lifted by large news sites, so it must be a matter of traffic that helps control it

Perhaps we should just add Reuters or AFP headers up the top of every A&H article?

Not to mention an American election is coming. Batten down the hatches.

The 2020 election thread (for all your Cory Booker messages to staffers' dogs needs) isn't even in A&H- it's in Deep Thoughts!

I don't see an issue with hiding the Off-Topic board, it's more for users anyway. I seriously doubt anyone is coming here for the hot takes in Deep Thoughts.

Disagree, Deep Thoughts is the premier trolling board.
 
Years of restraint and now I finally made an account, like a pill popper moving on to heroin. This is where my life ends up. In a ditch on the bad corner of internet town shooting up terrible political threads and snorting surprisingly decent multimedia discussion. Thanks for nothing god.
 
Could you just make A & H a sub domain instead of restricting it? Would they still count it the same for SEO purposes?

Edit: I guess i mean all of the off topic section as a sub domain. But still same question.
