Most "Black" topics still get posted here in TLR where they get more replies. The Root started off as a good idea and for a while it seemed like people really wanted to post intelligent threads that people could build on, but eventually the forum became "TLR Lite" with people basically posting "conscious" versions of TLR threads, and now the forum is mostly dead. At the time of this post half the threads on the front page of The Root are from one dude who bumps all of his threads.
Is there any reason to still have the The Root as a separate forum? I know people wanted to have a separate forum for serious threads without being overshadowed by TLR fukkery, but it doesn't seem to be working that well if people aren't posting there anymore. There are several good threads that were posted there and they could probably benefit if The Root was merged into TLR and those threads could get more replies.
