Original OP by the very awesome @dollarhuviya. Original topic locked by @Jaimas and suggested was moved to a more fitting subforum. I was torn between Forum Discussion and Feedback because the latter has no ratings and, thus, might cause people to get off their asses and speak their true thoughts without being @Cucky'd into silence, but at the same time Feedback also allows for anonymous posting, and I'd rather we keep this as intimate as possible.
The following was posted, again, by @dollarhuviya. I'm gonna post this directly instead of putting it in a quote box for the ease of reading:

More and more, there has been a lot of complaining going on about the lack of funny content that has been popping up lately. Some people believe that the kinds of new cows being made into threads here aren't even interesting at all and are way below standards of what a typical cow would be like. Others have expressed that compared to several months ago, the content here has become a lot more predictable and less interesting. Another issue that has been observed is how some people out there are literally using this as an actual therapy center, like @WanderingVagabond did. Null disabled thread notifications from this subforum many months back and he was not keen on the place at all. I personally hardly post here anymore for these reasons. People also weren't happy about Ultra-VNT's thread being moved here and I've noticed there isn't as much activity for it as there was when it was still in Lolcow.
I made this topic because I want to see what the opinion is here about the subforum as of currently and whether it should be kept or just have the better threads get moved back to Lolcow and having the rest of the subforum archived.

Now, my personal thoughts. As someone who has frequented this place for the better part of seven or so months (and therefore has no fucking soul or taste), I personally do not think that the Loveshies, as a community, are dead. The Loveshies, as a subforum, however, are pointless, since they do not produce quite enough content to justify making an entire subforum for them. It's much like the former Entersphere where it turns out that he didn't have quite as much content as people were expecting when you finally started breaking things up into their individual components. There's three possible choices right now:
1) Spergatory, where everything goes into Spergatory and we never talk about this again.
2) Merge, where we take part of or all of the remaining Loveshy threads and merge them into Lolcow and Community Watch.
3) Keep, where nothing changes and we all shit our pants and do nothing.
I think that doing the first option is an overreaction to a place that can still be viably milked, while the latter is letting a problem continue to simmer until we just have a mini bloodletting. A conditional Merge where we take the popular Loveshy threads and put them into Lolcow and Community Watch and put the rest into Spergatory would probably be the best choice.
imho:
@Dynastia's Manhood101.com, moved to Lolcow.
@Ass Manager 3000's Lookism.net, moved to Community Watch.
@sugoi-chan's Marijan, moved to Lolcow.
@Ariel's UltraVNT, moved to Lolcow.
@autisticdragonkin's MGTOW, moved to Community Watch.
@Cosmos's r/TheRedPill, moved to Community Watch.
@Ass Manager 3000's Ian Ironwood, moved to Lolcow.
Those are the topics that I personally enjoyed and/or could still yield content if we start digging through them again. The other Loveshies are either one-note or have died off in the lifespan of the Loveshy Therapy Center and there's no point in beating a dead horse.
I wholly encourage anyone else to tell me why I'm dumb for leaving out their favorite topic or for advocating for any salvation for this trainwreck of a subforum.
