For example, "Other TES Titles" and "Mod Discussion" should have been long closed by now, but we don't have the script enabled that allows them to be closed to new posts, but visible all the time. If you're being over-run by threads, closing boards is the worst thing to do. Each board should be considered on its own rather than compared to each other e.g. compared to the Skyrim board, the Other TES Titles board has basically no traffic. But the board itself still gets a decent amount of posts, enough to warrant its existence. The Skyrim board has a wopping 11,000+ threads- on actual forums, to have that much traffic without so much as a single sub-board is unheard of and a ridiculous amount of stress to put on mods.

If anything, the Skyrim board needs to be reviewed and perhaps have another board born of it (I assume sub-boards don't exist on wikis?). Closing boards, especially with the amount of traffic this wiki's forum gets, is a very bad idea. Forums were designed to be spread out. What you call streamlining actually bottle-necks all traffic into chaos within a single place- a forum mod's greatest nightmare... 

But getting back on topic, thanks for the correction regarding TPs! Perhaps then another board for help requests should be considered then and see if the script can be disabled on that board? There is no worse feeling than finding someone else had your problem but not being able to post an answer or not being able to tell others you have the same problem, and draw them back to see if they eventually found the answer you now need. In scenarios like these, it's not the same just re-creating the thread- the person who originally made it probably worked it out themselves and moved on, whilst the active users who couldn't help that user still can't help you.
