Having no new posts since March of 2012, I think it counts as being dead. I vote to remove it. Remember, if enough people want it back we can always add it again.
I also think we should remove any forums that haven't had any posts for at least three or four months, as a general rule.
On the to-do list. Waiting on Arti's approval on how it will affect SEO, as he is the only one with stats on that.
He should write up a quick back end, or send stuff to you so you can write up a quick back end, to your guys' SEO stats and somehow integrate it with vBulletin. Make an admin panel plugin or something.Quote:

It'd be way easier to just wait on him. Whenever I get FTP access, I might be able to to get some SEO stats from Google.
But the whole forum seems to be dead, so why not wait till this huge advertisement thing goes on.
What do you mean?Quote:

It's off-putting for new users especially who don't know the forums that well.
The inactive forums will just be replaced by topics in a generally-related forum. It's not that World of Warcraft isn't allowed to be discussed on LG, but that it can just be discussed in the Gaming forum instead of its own forum.
