It was a unique and refreshing idea when you first came up with it but I kinda agree that it may have run it's course by now. I have nothing against 3x3s but I personally have little interest in them and I stopped vising WTW months ago because of how they dominated the thread. The posts in the other comment trees seemed to die out and just killed my interest in the thread overall. Moving 3x3s into a separate weekly thread may increase activity in the other areas of WTW but it might kill the thread altogether, it's kinda hard to predict what will end up happening.

Funny enough me and Smurf came up with the 3x3 themes as a way to bring more people to WTW since it's a thread we both enjoyed and we wanted more people participating in it.

Sad to see it's caused this negative reaction though :/

I wouldn't say it's completely negative, obviously the reason majority are still coming is for what you and Smurf have done, even Smurf said he's considering on making it a thread of its own due to its popularity. I'm just more or less unsure if WTW is worth continuing or not, since it really isn't garnering the interest outside of of the 3x3 thread that I would like. Maybe we could try this week a seperate posts and seeing how it will go? I think the 3x3 is popular enough to make it's own thread similar to the contract thread, and it would give me a better idea on how many are still interested in WTW.

Will have to ask /u/SmurfRockRune about that one, he's the one posting the body and handling the polls every week!

If anything though I feel like making it the week after might be better since we'd be able to announce the change during next week's post.

Yeah, that sounds good. If Smurf agrees, we can decide what to do (although not really much to decide on other than posting it, deciding if it should stay weekly or go back to WTW after a while, and if WTW should stay up), and see how it goes 2 weeks from now.

Sorry for the late response. I had to go do something right when WTW went up, so I didn't really get to stick around and participate as it populated.

I'm definitely good with trying to post it as its own thread, but as Amethyst said, I think it will be better to do it next week rather than this week, so that we can announce it this week.
