Basket-What is it and do I need one?

Hi, I recently set up a new forum and was creating some forum categories and noticed that this Basket was one of them. I was actually having trouble getting a new forum title within my forum, so I just re-named that Basket. Was that okay?

Well, it acts as your Trash Can for topics you choose to send there. So, you could just rename it Trash Can.

What happens if I renamed it and used it as a category? Not sure if category is the right word, or forum within my forum...is that okay?

Just change it back to a forum as opposed to category, rename it accordingly, and you're set. You might want to make the Trash Can invisible to other members but you.
