Ignoring the poor wording, why is it not a good idea to have simple questions in one topic and more detailed ones have their own thread? I tried to do something like this but it was buried very quickly after a bunch of rapid, quick questions were posted.
It's generally easier for users to make their own threads so that they can easily find their own question for future reference, at least in my opinion.

I guess it might be easier. I do think that some sort of priority should be self-applied to questions, but that's my own opinion.

It'll be nice once things like asking for help and submitting content get their own dedicated integrations, so that the forums can be used more for discussion and less for handling tasks it's not very good at doing.

I'm not sure if anything like this is in the works for SMBX.org, but I could be wrong. I do agree though that integrations would better handle stuff that isn't discussion related than what the forum software offers.

SMBX Worlds and GFX pages have been updated. These will be updated with new features over time.

Like, 3 years? They hasn't been updated since 2014!

The people on the pages should be interactive. Raccoon Mario should spin when clicked, Toad should jump when clicked, Luigi should kick his shell when clicked, Hammer Mario should throw a hammer when clicked and Tanookey Mario should turn into stone when clicked.

Or actually accept that your suggestion is ridiculous and just deal with the fact that I post in a very blunt manner in a more mature and constructive way

To be honest, the only real constructive part from your post was that you said it would be a waste of time. Everything else you've said so far is unnecessarily rude.

Finally! Now we only need to bring back the wiki.

Also, shouldn't SMBX Worlds be called SMBX Episodes now? That would be more fitting I belive.

"Episodes" is too long to fit up there.

As for Help & Support. It has over 2,500 threads with 5 replies at average, and each thread gets quickly buried down, and duplicate threads appear frequently (including trivial questions answered by sticky threads). Actual bugs are worth their own thread, but trivial stuff like "runtime error 9" isn't, and it would also help if people wouldn't quickly make further threads for new questions but instead keep them in one thread (which noone would follow anyway even if it was prompted).

Something else that could be done if a General Questions thread wouldn't be accepted is separating questions for different versions of SMBX. Separating 38A from 2.0 and 2.0 from 1.3(.0.1) would better categorize questions relevant to someone looking for support. Also I think I've asked this before, but having a channel specifically for H&S separate from #smbx would be better suited for help than forum threads for communication. In fact I think it would be better than having a General Thread even if people were told to use the chat for general questions since the threads act like a chat with their length and content.

That is a good idea that should be implemented.
