I think Steve's point is valid; my only caveat to any possible cleanup is to not lose old threads - there is some great stuff on these forums (the discussion during the design of Barbarians of the Void is one example that springs to mind) and I'd hate to see that get lost for the sake of cleanup.

So, I checked in at The Piazza about the possibility of getting a sub-forum under The Crunchy Bits. It seems that getting a sub-forum is dependent on how much conversation is already happening in the main forum relating to the game in question. So, at this juncture, no dice I'm afraid, as there isn't a lot of chatter about BoL on that forum 

Beyond Belief Games has a sub-forum under Simulacrum Games in the OD&D Discussion Forums:

Home | Original D&D Discussion (proboards.com)

However, since BoL is now under licence to Ludospherik, maybe they'd like to create a forum or at least have a presence here (although, I do get the point that this forum is far too big and it needs to be re-organized).

I'll mention it to them next time we speak.
 

Maybe I'm the odd man out but I prefer my discussion groups (whether traditional bbs style forums, facebook groups, or discords) to be more focused rather than general.   While BoL seems like a game that alot of people respond fondly to when asked about it and volunteer it as a great example of the genre in general, it doesn't seem like that respect has turned into much discussion or games played sadly.  As someone who just recently discovered the game and its spin offs, I've been looking for somewhere to discuss it and this place is about the most active despite the relative inactivity.

For what it's worth, this thread is literally the first time I've ever heard of MeWe and I had to look it up.   I initially thought it was some sort of Chinese mobile app like WeChat.  Admittedly though, I'm old and have been on the internet since Netscape was in beta and fit on a 3.5" disk so I may be a bit out of touch, lol...

In running this forum we are totally in sync with the MeWe groups as I am a member of both and communicate with Garnett Elliott and have sent messages to Simon Washbourne  in the past. One way I believe to get these forums going is to run games out there in the wild, I run a BoL/Everywhen game in public and will be running a game at a convention in April nearby. And really, if I am in north Idaho and I can do this...it cannot be that difficult. I ALWAYS have businesses offering sometimes begging me to run games in their establishments and I never am short of players. We can make these games explode in popularity.
