[QUOTE="Henry, post: 986624, member: 158"] I still take the different view on it. I prefer they stay right where they are, because they add to the character of the boards. As with all topics, they can be avoided if the poster wants; but shuttling them to another board will ultimately either a) driving all off-topic conversation off the boards, as people get tired of being constantly reminded which forum to put it in. b) adding the extra workload that is moving OT threads to the correct place all the time, because people refuse to follow the courtesy. I don't want it gone entirely, because it's through these very OT threads that one gets to know a little more about one's neighbors than just what games they play, enhancing the commuity aspect. I also would dislike seeing a policy in place that would have to have near-draconian enforcement to reinforce. It's not hard to convince most people to be civil; but it's worlds harder adjucating their thought processes during discussion of a hobby. Again, that's just my personal look on it, and one that keeps me coming back to those frivolous threads that give us a sense of community. [/QUOTE]
