So, about the What If thread...

I really don't think closing the What If threads is an instance of no-fun-allowed. If it didn't consistently tend towards posts that take all of ten seconds to think and type and goes absolutely nowhere, this wouldn't be on the table.

It is up to the community to decide whether they want to post 'quality'. I dont see also why anybody should feel pressured to overthink when posting a thread. Just use common sense.
TL DR Dont spam. Try not to post meaningless spam enforcing threads. Dont overthink and have fun.

Gotcha. Haven't looked in those threads in a while, didn't realize it was that bad.
Romantique Tp:
"You Know You're Addicted to Touhou When..." is one of the "classic" MotK threads but in the past few years I feel like it has become primarily a big list of stuff that would obviously remind anyone of Touhou. It's nowhere as silly as the What If thread, but I still find it kinda pointless these days.
Then there's the Touhou Dream thread... This one is a bit infamous and mocked outside of MotK. I would move it to Shrinemaiden Caf? because unregistered users really shouldn't be seeing personal stuff, and turn it into a general dream thread to try to even out the "obvious fanfic:actual dream" ratio.
the old guy:
I second the closing of the dream thread. It's making a mockery of this fine site.
Tengukami:
I apparently really need to read more TARC threads. That dream thread is pure cringe.
Lollipop:
There's a reason I don't post in the dream thread.
However, I don't think closing it would be the best idea.
