This might seem fairly obvious to anyone who's used the DS section of the site, but it's kind of a mess. To demonstrate:
On the front page of the NDS - Homebrew Games & Applications board, there is one redundant "tell me the best homebrew" topic, one nesDS topic, one WiiScrubber topic (WTF?), two "what's going on with MSN on DS?" topics, two svSIP topics, two "which browser is the best?" topics,one "how do I change the skin on my R4?" topic, one "tell me the history of all touchscreen devices" topic, and two Genesis emulation topics (redundant and on the wrong board).
The NDS - Emulation board's first page has one "Age of Empires doesn't work on my R4" topic, one "Animal Crossing doesn't work on my DSTT" topic, one "Retro Game Challenge corrupted my microSD" topic, one "Will hacking Pokémon Diamond mess up my game?" topic, one "Final Fantasy won't save on my CycloDS" topic, and a massive six page topic about the nuked version of Time Hollow.
Sure, I get it, volunteers, busy site, etc. But I'm not just saying "mods should be doing more", I'm saying "mods should be focussing on getting the board out of its state of complete disorder instead of running around deleting individual posts for trivial reasons like not directly responding to the subject as it was set out in the topic post. For conversation to drift is natural and expected, and if the mods are so bothered by off-topic posts, why aren't completely irrelevant topics being moved to their rightful locations?
