I thought the thread had every reason to be on this part of the forums.

1) It was specifically DnD orientated.
2) It dealt with a specific problem that often arises in many games.
3) It offered clever and unique solutions to this/those problems. (there are many different wishes that a new DM could be presented with)
4) I, personally, would never have found the thread if it had been moved immediately to 'silly thread games' because I don't go there when I come here to learn about DnD. After all, that forum is just a bunch of silly games, and this is the forum that deals with DnD orientated material (see points 1 thru 3).

and 5) Umm... it was actually a really fun and interesting thread to read??

Just my two cents. Don't mean to step on any toes, hope its allowed to offer a civilized response to moderator decisions tho...
