Ok I have to ask what the story is behind this. I heard it mentioned to go check out this board for spoilers. Ok so why is it titled child's board. I missed the memo somehow

[Kаsiks]

I think it is because a board like many other things is structured like a tree and in a tree, a node can have node(s) called child node(s), the node that has child node(s) is called parent node of the child node(s), so it is the same with board except that they are called child board and parent board (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=205)

That is the reason that seems the most logical for me but I am a CS and I think as a CS

It's a "Techie thing".

It's a "Techie thing".

Sure is Papa!

But I'll take a shot at it too.. I think it is just a concept easier to understand, than being in techie talk.  VFK, and Virtual Cornucopia, are considered "parent" boards.  While the boards that fall inside them: "spoilers" "events and items", "birthdays", "jokes", "political", etc. are titled "child" boards, because they "belong" to the parent board.  (or as simple as, "you have to make an extra click to get into them?"  )

I just thought it was funny because the history of this board. We were all trying to run away from the childish behaviour thus  we can all be found to be found on the child board every day

"you have to make an extra click to get into them?"
