NationStates Jolt Archive

I just looked at the nationstates section of the Forums

What is with the blank forum area on the bottom that says:


There have been no posts in the last 30 days in this forum.
Try using the controls below to search for any older posts that may exist. ?

Is it reserved for another section such as Nuts & Bolts, Sound & furry, or
Anything & Everything?

Why is it there? It bugs me for some reason.

It seems that the overall NS section of the Jolt forums, has the potential not only to act as a category, but also as its own forum concomitantly.

However, it is deviod of any threads, as it is not to be used as its own forum (it appears), save for announcements.

Of course I could be mistaken.
