No no... Nuke the users from orbit. Well, certain ones, anyway...

No don't just make one off topic forum. Imagine combining Off-Topic and Way Off-Topic. For those of us who do read the threads it would take forever to filter out the new ones. Sometimes, for me at least, the new threads would cover the entire page or maybe more. That'd be just freakin' crazy.
Kusoyaro: We don't need a leader. We need to SHUT UP. Make what you want to make, don't make you what you don't want to make. If neither of those applies to you, then you need to SHUT UP MORE.

I've stopped reading the "off-topic" forums entirely. It's utterly impossible to find anything useless in either, and it's a waste of time.

Those forums need a dedicated moderator - someone who has the power to suspend a user's privilege from posting in each individual forum, in case someone like Buckethead fills an Off-Topic forum about computer hard drives with pictures of his pet horse, etc.
"If someone feels the need to 'express' himself or herself with a huge graphical 'singature' that has nothing to do with anything, that person should reevaluate his or her reasons for needing said form of expression, possibly with the help of a licensed mental health practitioner."

I was going to mention this, but I didn't think it would be proper. Since I spend most of my time in the off-topic forums, I'd be willing to moderate just them. Maybe I'll start a campaign...yes, yes...get votes, as it were, behind me and ask Phade nicely.

Why not?......

Why not? Because Phade won't give a random board user he's never met power over a portion of his site. :-)

Correction: a complete waste of time.
But did you mean "useless" or "useful" ? I'd agree with the second.
