I have moved a few of those myself. It's a problem with the current structure of the forum. N900 is supposed to be a hardware forum, Maemo 5/ Fremantle is a platform/OS forum, and there are fora for competitors and etc.

Many if not most of the threads started in N900 don't really fit the currently defined description of the N900 forum, and thus get moved. I'm not just referring to my own actions here, i'm talking about all the mods.

For whatever reason, most of them don't get moved to general. I guess it's because the definition of what goes in general is ambiguous.

So, as i said, this is a problem with the structure of the forum. Perhaps a "lighthearted" subforum would be useful? That, or a consensus that the million unuseful N900 topics that are nevertheless nominally about the N900 should go in General.
