The reason both threads are dead is because people don't care about them enough. If they did, the threads would see posting regardless of where they are. Instead, people care about them so little that they cannot be bothered to post in them if it requires the minor inconvenience of three clicks from anywhere on the forum instead of just one click from a subforum they like.
yeah, clearly no one cared about 3cm, including all the people who wanted it moved for its health. and no one cared about the card chain game, it just consistently sat at the top of General due to a coding error. you clearly understand psychology.
You are committing the straw man fallacy here.
It's not "no one" that really cared about 3cm. It's just the 4 people still playing it. As for the card chain game, people obviously do not care as of this point in time. If they did, the thread would see use. Since it's completely dead, every single person on here, including you, do not care about it enough for it to be that important. If a single other person cared, Jack and some random person on the forum would be playing the card chain game right now. It was just something you guys happened to do when you visited that one subforum but didn't really like enough or care enough about to keep going once it required more than the minimal amount of effort to play. The fact of the matter is though, that that is not a good reason to put it into the wrong subforum

If either thread was prohibitive to access, that would be one thing. But you can access either of them with 3 clicks from anywhere on the site (assuming they have not fallen off the front page; if so then 4 clicks). The extra two clicks isn't a prohibitive amount of effort.
