I disagree.

No but seriously, I'm not actually trolling this time.
I really don't like the idea of taking away the Arcade and Dens. I couldn't care less about the Smarty Pants forum since it always did cause drama and I think the community has proven that it isn't able to handle the opinions of others. But there is nothing wrong with the Dens and Arcade. As Flip pointed out, those sections provide members a place to relax and make friends when they aren't discussing TLK. And let's face it - not even the most die-hard fan can talk about TLK ALL the time. Honestly, I would blame the lack of activity on the fact that there is little to discuss about the movie anymore. There is only so much to be said about a 90-minute long film that came out seventeen years ago. It is really only the newer members/fans that post anymore because the older people have pretty much exhausted all they can say.
Which is where the Arcade and Dens come in. These off-topic areas provide a place for members to chill in-between discussions. Believe it or not, some of us aren't raging TLK nuts and would like to post in TLK topics only when we feel ready and inspired. Pressuring members to only post in one place would lead to a flood of poorly thought-out posts.
Besides, a forum is not only for discussion. Taking away the Arcade and Dens takes away the whole social aspect of a community and makes the whole site quite dull to outsiders. It's like taking away recess, friends, and lunch from school and dedicating all 7 hours of school to studying and work. People need a break from it all.
