Board Thread:Suggestions forum/@comment-26322120-20160128003033/@comment-27723099-20160202154458

The problem with the suggestion forum is that it's too much. There are lots of good ideas, and there is a constant stream of new suggestions. So we do cleanups to keep it managable. In these cleanups we usually delete every thread, no matter how good it was. There were some ideas, eg. the List of Doom, to keep the most valuable parts of it.

But I guess the better question is: Does it really hurt to have thousands of suggestions in the forum? We could simply ignore it and not do any cleanouts. Only disapproved (FAQ violations) or implemented suggestions will be removed. The downside is that good suggestions will be buried below the massive stream of new suggestions.
