Let me just step in on this. In my three years acting as the moderator of this section, I have always asked for feedback, whether it'd be from the community staff, or the members themselves. Every time I've asked, one of the top points that comes up is to host more easy-going threads to garner more engagement within the section. I'm only upholding what the members want of the section, and so long as it's within reason of both PC and the section itself, I have no problem with the content that goes about in the section. I should also mention that the threads in the section that are active now are very similar in context to how they were even back before I was a moderator.
Not everything in this section is meant for discussion, either. Sure, there are a lot of "spammy polls" in here, but let them be spammy polls. They are not meant for hardcore discussion at all. Besides, every time I see a more-lengthy discussion topic come up in here, it gets fewer replies than those that are easy to post in.
Finally, let me just say this: times change. Never in my time as a member on PC have I ever seen all the active threads in this section be entirely discussions. Maybe that's how they were several years ago, but those members who upheld the section in that manner have since moved on and new members have come in. It's ultimately up to the members on how a section's content rolls along, and what the current moderator sees fit is good. I'm not trying to ignore your feedback, but I just wanted to let it be known that I have tried to get deep with discussions in here with little-to-no success.
