I'd venture to guess that moderators are supposed to know how to have fun in a responsible manner.

That sounds worrisome, especially combined with the rest of this discussion.

From what I can tell, unname4798 wants to be a dictator regarding the Sandbox. This will absolutely not work well.

They are not statues cast in stone, you know. They have feelings and boredom too.

I post fairly "academic" things on sandbox, or at least involving math, because they're not about Conway's Game of Life. Maybe there should be a subforum for things unrelated to CA but still serious. I would definitely post there.

If that exists it would be called "Math Stuffs", or something similar as always.

Other Math. The discord server has a channel like that. Maybe we should have that as a forum.
