The ITT thread is a bit like a chat
Maybe they (people that post in ITT) should reconsider using IRC if they are somehow mixing a message board with real time chatting which is insanely stupid. The most minor subjects can be spoken in IRC instead.

it's not like I mind going on IRC, what I'm getting at is OT is going to be pretty silent, somewhat dead without it. Most people here, I think, can't come up with quality content (it's hard to come up with good ideas tbh//) but still wish to discuss here. and yes, I know not everything has to be A+ content, but it feels pretty dumb to make C- content.

I believe most people can't come up with quality content because they have gotten used to ITT too much. With a massive thread going on, why even make a new thread anymore since anything goes in ITT? Of course, once ITT has been removed, at first people will be really confused for several days or weeks but it's a sacrifice we need to make if we want to give Tuuba Forums the life it deserves.
It's not like people needs to suddenly start making quality threads again. Give it some time.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sure thing, but then nobody should complain if they see some really low tier shitposting. I'm not so sure how bad it's going to be because the userbase here isn't as horrible as in osu! OT, but yeah.

I think removing ITT has the opposite effect that you are looking for. At least I personally only check that thread, if it gets removed i'll just stop checking the forum altogether because the only thread i was reading is gone and i cba to check all the other threads if there is anything of value hidden in there.
Like sure, maybe in short term it will increase the amount of new threads, but will it really increase activity?
As for deleting necro thread, why? Same story as ITT, if you remove it those people aren't suddenly going to post in other sections of the forum. You're just giving them another reason to not go visit the forum.

Tuuba Forums at the current state is already dead so we are not going to lose anything if the plan fails. We can't rely on circlejerk hugbox forever, things need to be changed, even if it leads some people leaving the place. Second part of the project is to start getting new faces on this site.
Or you could just request IppE to remove every single subforum except OT, remove all threads except ITT, pretend it is IRC and let the place die. Your choice.

We can always create a new ITT if the plan fails

Might as well drop it here, should the default theme be changed from DarkGrey to any of the minimal options we have? I think it would help a little bit when getting new people in. People who don't like it could switch back to DarkGrey after the change from the settings.
In case people are not using the default, it looks like this.
Smaller one looks like this.

I personally think the smaller one looks like absolute horseshit, and I have a feeling a number of people not used to forums are inclined to agree, so it might have an opposite effect from what you're trying to achieve
just make a dark reskin of the old osu forums theme

Mara please no that's dumb
I mean how is the smaller one gonna help when getting new people in? "Oh look everything is so small and minimal so I'm just gonna create a new account yay"
I'm sorry if I am missing the point here
