I think the BO should just make (one) journal thread a cyclical. New journal threads should be promptly deleted and the OP directed towards the cyclical thread. I think in general journaling is good, it's not like a board like this can have an abundance of new topics to talk about every day like /v/ or /pol/, so talking about nofap feels and stuff can be good for the board.
I think a bigger problem than the journal threads though are the abundance of retards who keep making new threads every time they relapse. I'm sick of seeing new threads that are basically "AAAARGH I FUCKING RELAPSED WHAT DO ANONS WHAT DO??".
Plague_Doctor if you're reading this, what do you think about making 2 more sticky threads(?):
>Thread of Shame: Post ITT if you relapsed
and
>Journaling Thread: Cyclical Edition
Just a suggestion, but I think that could probably clean up the board quite a bit.
