    These sections are mostly dead. When you can see threads from 2012, 2013 or early 2014 on the first page you know these sections are just a waste of space. Most of the threads in this section are threads that can easily be placed in the general discussion, the for sale section, help & support and economy discussion.

    The only thing these sections contribute to the forum are reports and staff having to lock them because someone posted on a 2 year old thread.

    All they really do is take up space and make the forum cluttered. So I suggest getting rid of them.

    +1 all this forum section does is provide threads for players to necro

    I probably wouldn't have ranked up if they didn't have these.

    They are useless. I think I have only checked them when I ranked up xD

    These have not been removed yet? :p
    Seems that the wasted space would be better used for sections concerning the new Hub offerings.

    Either delete them entirely, or make them all 1 section on the main forum as "Private forums" and then have that lead to them.

    +1 I think these forums are a waste of space.
    However, I will miss the memories and the added benefit of being Tycoon+

    Ironic how three of the four forum sections were posted on the day you took the screenshot, and the last one for like a few days ago.

    The only real benefit of them is this really stupid thread: http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/133472
    Besides the fact that that will be lost, this is a good idea. They are barely used and can take up space on the forums. Archive the entire sections into one place where they can be viewed.
