As many of you know, I think the option for Off-Topic stuff is good. People can set their settings to ignore it, right? I was always in favor of it merely for the choices it offered. Now that we've been around for a while, what are you guys' thoughts on the matter?

If we're looking for overall participation numbers, the off-topic stuff is definitely what was driving TTF. I enjoyed reading it but it was a real time-waster. Now that I'm on Facebook that wastes enough of my time and I'm not necessarily ready to go back to reading about nothingberders.

I'm fine with off topic stuff, but I don't think we should lift the ban on political and religious stuff. Maybe the other way around, where there's a hidden area that you have to be privileged to join could work. I would prefer that if for no other reason than it would be easier to police and then the contentious discussion to be what shows up on Google searches

Keep politics and religion out. Enough other places. Far too much hassle.
