Make the AoE3 forum opt in

Or better yet just remove it.
It's toxic and cluttering my "unread posts" page which is otherwise populated by friendly, intellectual OT discussions. It's ruining my forum experience.
For example today I logged in, went to unread posts and saw these threads
viewtopic.php?f=982&t=24455
viewtopic.php?f=982&t=24451
... which, while slightly amusing, ultimately proved a waste of time to read. I could have been reading PoC's enlightening takes on the war in Ukraine instead.
Opt in because new members shouldn't be subjected to the toxic community in the AoE3 forums by default. This will lead to them tragically leaving the forums before having been exposed to aforementioned enlightening takes.

You wouldn't believe this but I literally wrote "This thread shouldn't exist on ESOC but alas! without the drama esoc won't exist" before deleting that cuz fuck it I said I don't care.

New forum users should only be allowed to see the Archive section of off topic until they've sufficiently learned ESOC history, then they can be allowed to post normally

If the entire forum isn't forced to read
viewtopic.php?f=315&t=24437 then I don't see any point in making posts, which is to force people to read things

Love it. So we need to make an ESOC history exam?

seems like forums got mostly replaced by discord which leaves the only purpose of the forum as a neutral ground for drama between discord cliques, and then official forums now exist too which soak up the vast majority of newcomers
