move closed topics to a special forum
closed topics clutter up the forums, so moving them somewhere else is best.

No support, the place for closed topics would be even more cluttered.

What about closed iTopics? If you say that is an exception, too, let me say that there will be a hard time being able to tell if it is an iTopic – and setting it manually is confusion-prone and takes more time from the Scratch Team than it would.
Closed announcements (literally every one)? Yeah, you're going to say it is an exception, too. What would happen to the spam posts that cause it to be closed?
There have been times where – it was either me or a moderator, I have no way of knowing – closed one of my topics accidentally. If it wasn't for the Suggestions forum, I'd never find it under a bunch of closed spam topics in whatever the new section is.

in fact, closed iTopics and announcements are not going to be an exception. that's why the suggestion is to move the closed topics to their own separate forumthose would be an exception. What about stickied closed topics?

Then no one would ever find them. They are actually important information. An ITopic is just a sticky that isn't at the top of the page, pretty much. It requires a Scratch Team member to give it the status, otherwise it is deleted.
Announcements already have their own section – and that's to be separate and distinct from all other sections. No one's even going to find those announcements if they get buried under spam topics.

Closed topics can actually be useful, but they can divert your attention when they aren't. So I think an option to hide closed topics (and maybe show forum stats excluding the closed topics) would be good. If closed topics were moved to a separate forum, it would basically be confirmation that the ST thinks closed topics have just about no value (which is wrong. for example, someone may be inspired by a closed topic).
So… I didn't update my signature for over a year XP But… I left the forums, and I'm not coming back anytime soon
(and I'm not updating my signature)

Closed topics already drift into the archives on their own, so there shouldn't be a need to move them to a separate forum, and then have a moderator move it back because it turns out that a lot of important topics are closed.

No support, this wouldn't be very useful, what if I need to find a closed topic because I need to link or quote it? At least in the regular forums I can see if a topic is closed meaning it will stand out. Also, this generally just wouldn't be a good implementation, because of how little it would truly do to actually make the forums better.
/hj is the worst tone indicator. It's confusing and ambiguous. I hate it. The point of tone indicators is to indicate tone, or the way that a piece of text should be read, but what does “half joking” mean? Do you just wake up in the morning and think “wow, I really have something I want to talk about seriously but also kinda not, IDK you decide.” It's useless. I hate it. It just provokes a deep rooted anger within me whenever I see it. People just comment /hj as if it makes any sense. It doesn't. Oh wow, it's a tone indicator that's has a relative meaning, how useful, I'll use it in every comment I post. NO. STOP IT. You're a tone indicator, you have only one job, and yet you sit there doing nothing apart angering me.

This one is useful because it tells you that this signature is fully 100% serious. (/srs) Who would've thought that tone indicators needed to tell you something about the piece of text they're attached to? /s
I'm serious, I'm not even going to put multiple (/hj)s a the end of my signature as to mock the previous paragraph for not getting the point of something(like previous version of my signature). /srs
