Re: Why do we keep a specific Arch64 subform?

I still feel that some change needs to made in regards to this. We're still receiving questions in that forum that are there only because a user has 64 bit and isn't familiar with the depth of this forum. I'm also still in support of using that sub-forum as a multi-lib discussion area. Maybe "Other Architectures & Multi-lib"?

You got my vote still.

Do all the threads in the amd64 forums contain a reference to the fact they were architecture specific?  If y'all go changing forums names/moving threads, make sure we can still easily find old stuff...say by adding an "amd64:" prefix to those older thread headers if needed.

Not unless it was mentioned explicitley. But, when the sub-forum was named, 64 bit Linux wasn't mainstream and Arch was primarily 32 bit. Today most users post general questions in the proper sub-forum.
