It'll all work out, so I'm kind of happy to see it go, but if it's just to get rid of missplaced questions, why don't you put it in an anouncemnt type thing for all newly regestered users? It would be closeable, and once closed wouldn't reopen, allowing all new users to have it up, but old users not to be bothered with it. It would say something like "Have a question? Post here in thisthread." This would also allow you to have spam threads submitted like " what does all them numbers mean in A-map?!?" It's to late now, and newbs would probably still ignore it thouh.
