Okay. There's been a crapload of speculation about what changes are in store for both teh site and teh boards ever since Merrill and I started our daily Employee Blogs. Imma tell you more about what's gonna happen in teh near future.
teh Site:
It's very likely that we will lose teh sidebar navigation. We haven't finalized what teh nav will be, but it will be different that those we've had in teh past.
In general, teh site look will evolve, not just jarringly redesign. You've seen it already with teh homepage. But expect some steady evolution over time.
teh Boards:
Here's what most of you guys have been waiting to hear about. And I hafta be honest, I'm about to lay some bombs on you. None of these decisions were made lightly or without serious thought, so please don't think that we are changing things just to change them.
teh Rules:
In teh future, we're gonna be both more restrictive and less restrictive. I can't talk about that too much, as we haven't formulated everything yet, but teh main point is that things are gonna change from a moderation perspective. A change, I think, for teh better. But don't worry, we're not going fascist on you.
No more ranks. Over teh last two years we've learned that ranks provide very little in teh way of an added board experience and encourage people to post, not with good post topics, but with little nothings intended only to increase rank. People who deserve rank will distinguish themselves by their actions, not by statistics, and teh positive effect will be teh same.
teh folder structure is gonna change.
There will be no Noise section. No Babbling, No Incoherent Babbling, no Rants. Instead there will be one General folder to encompass all non-Adult Swim discussion. This wasn't an arbitrary decision, but one we must adhere to in order to accomplish our larger goals for teh site.
This will be teh new structure going forward:
Adult Swim .com Fan Reviews User-Generated Anime Comedy Show Suggestions General Insider Boards
Adult Swim will be a general discussion of all things Adult Swim that are NOT shows. .com will be a discussion of all site-related things, including games and technical issues. Fan Reviews will be a place for fans to post reviews of shows. A user can only post a thread there, not reply. Other users will be able to rate each review. User-Generated is teh place for fan-made stuff. You know, whatever. Anime is teh discussion of anime. Comedy is discussion of comedy. Show Suggestions is where you suggest shows for us to air. General will be where everything else goes. This will not just be Noise in one folder. It will be a entirely different type of general discussion, teh vast majority of which will not be nonsensical. Insider Boards will be a category set aside for Insiders. If they want one, we'll give an Insider their own board to rule as they wish, and to engender discussion of their shows. We don't know if many (or any) will really wanna take advantage of this, but we hope they will.
There is more to it, but this is all I can say right now.
I wanna reiterate that this isn't a punishment to any folder that's being removed or teh people in them. It's just a decision we had to make for teh future of teh boards and where they need to be. Things are definitely gonna be different, but I encourage all of you not to see it negatively. teh boards are not just folder structures and rules. These boards are much more about teh people in them. I hope you guys remember that as you go forward with these new changes in mind and try to think about reforging this community around those awesome people.
We don't know when these changes will happen. But we're thinking some time in July. We don't know yet for sure.
this is straight from torrent

Yay, they came up with a worse idea then creating a special rank for RP threads but not giving them powers!
