I actually agree - I wish forums weren’t dead and I also don’t think Discord is a proper replacement for them but it is what it is and continuing to maintain this install is holding back what we could otherwise do with the sites so the silver lining is that ditching the forum will make for a better main site experience.
As for your suggestion, I feel like it’s been brought up before but all that would do is kick the problem down the road. Having less submissions in the queue at a time doesn’t make it more manageable - it just makes the number less scary. As it is now, submissions are sorted by date, oldest to newest, and by default prioritize ones with icons. That’s about all the optimization that I think can realistically make a difference on the queue size. What we actually need is more staff but finding people who are both qualified and willing to donate their time is no easy task.
