Does anybody else think we need an Out of Topic section of the board? People seem to think that General RPG Discussion means "Post anything that doesn't need to be here right here."

Heh. Yet another request for a new board. OT board it is this time, eh?
There are a probably few misguides souls who are thinking that, yes.The Kender said:
Examples, please. Also, keep in mind that GD is intended to also accomodate OT discussions. So which kinds of OT threads are bothering you, specifically?

Russ means to say that if we had an off-topic board, it would diffuse the usefulness and sense of community on the general boards. Also, OT boards would be harder to manage and monitor. We like to maintain a doctrine of no religious or political debates, and if there was a forum only for off-topic discussions, those debates would happen more often. Threads like that really piss people off, so we'd be best doing whatever we can to curb them.
I hope that explains things better.

just ditch OT's
I have to agree, OT posts are really ruining the general RPG board, however, I would never want a board for them, just their abolishment. Topics on the Olympics, the Simpsons, why should these be on EN World? I don't mind LOTR, or other fantasy posts, since they are much closer to the stated purpose of the board, but the rest have no business there. You can claim that OT posts can be skipped over, or forced to put OT in the subject, but for me, they are an eye sore I could really live with out.

I agree 100% with praetorian. Stuff like the Simpsons & Sesame Street doesn't belong.
