Hi,
I've considering the idea of adding an "Off-Topic" forum for those of us who are regulars and may want to discuss issues somewhat wider than pre-pentium Vintage Computing. It's a good way to facilitate further socialisation and getting to know people. If such a forum was around, discussions on Google+ would have fitted nicely in here.
However, it's not without risk. Politics, extreme positions and viscious flame-wars has often eminated from an Off-topic forum splitting what was a friendly group of guys with a common interest into armed camps.
Personally, I'd like to try one if you feel we can self-regulate ourselves to avoid the above. If we can't then I guess I could always pull the plug on it.
Anyway, what are your thoughts?
