I'm against rearranging the sidebar because it makes sense to me the way it is. Announcements, administrativa, archives.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I'm sort of against rearranging, but thinking yes on brevity, to fit mroe things above the fold. (So to speak.)
But I need to cogitate on it further and also commute home.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
What is the proposed re-arrangement again?
It makes sense to me that beep Me, COMM and Press go together as they are a Board Diet. Kafka, BBB, and Voting together. Nilly and Meijia and tapes together.

Works for me.

But Beep Me and Press are announcement threads, and COMM is an archive thread. If anything, When Come Back should be moved up with the other announcements.
[edit: Not a real suggestion, because When Come Back is so specialized, I don't think it deserves top o' the page priority]

If I only had a brain...
I know that I speak for everyone here, including the monkeys, when I say that COMM is my reason for existence, the light of my declining days, and belongs at the top of the screen.
And anybody who says otherwise is WRONG. Wronger than a hot tub full of Henry Kissinger.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But Beep Me and Press are announcement threads, and COMM is an archive thread.
But Beep Me and Press are listed under Site Administration and they aren't really. It makes sense that grouping things by ease-of-use could work. As Sophia noted, if you could only drop by the board for ten minutes, Beep Me, Press and COMM are the three things you'd be most likely to hit.

I really don't care at all, but my logic is that people USE the reading of Beep Me, Press and COMM as a shortcut to catching up. People USE kafka, BBB, and vote for administrative/board issues. And people USE Nilly, Meijia and Tape to find things.

Not everyone. IJS.
