Off-Topic Section

I agree. That way we'd be able to seperate the good stuff from the junk. It'd make for cleaner forums...that's for sure! 
Yah, an Introduction section would be good.
I wouldn't say that the Off-Topic stuff is junk.. just.. less important And somewhere to go when you need a break from everything else and just chill and talk about whatever with everyone.
Anyways, I hope Mr. Jonraiker takes this into consideration.

Yeah, I've been waiting for an off topic section so I can start my "Test Kenner's Batman Knowledge" thread.
Off-Topic and Intorduction forums are a must, it's starting to really get cluttered around here and spacing out the messages would allow a lot better "flow" to the boards I think

I don't like the suggestion of an off-topic forum.
I think it would get extremely cluttered very very fast, and be way too hard to moderate and control, then things would get out of hand and it would have mod's working round the clock running ragged because someone has the F word copied to his clipboard and spamming away.
It would have to be closely moderated, because a lot of people would abuse the forum, and not see it as how you think they would.
So, no, I don't think we should, I think we should have something similar, but very organized, or it'll come crashing down.

Well if you think about it, they can choose more moderators and maybe assign some just to the Off-Topic section if needed. Plus, the only thing I can see being a problem in that one is maybe language, if that. I think a lot of us here are mature enough to know our limits but we do get a bit crazy sometimes. We need a place to have fun, and the only thing getting cluttered is the general board that were on right now where half the sutff on here should be on an Off-Topis section. Then, more people would see the more magic related threads rather than the random threads. If you need more reasons i'm sure I, and the people who second my opinon, could give you many more.

I don't see how everything you mentioned couldn't happen in the regular forums any ways. How are those concerns specific to an off topic forum?
I thought about making one a while back, but obviously never did...
But at least we have an unofficial one now.

It doesn't really matter. The General Magic forum is basically an Off Topic forum; if you go off topic or even make an off topic thread, no one stops you. Other subforums are also littered with posts that belong in other sections. This place is a zoo.
if something isn't magic related, it's usually deleted quickly, so you can basically judge by reading the title or whatnot, on an off topic forum the mods would have to literally read each thread and decide if it's appropriate or not.
I'm not saying it would be bad but it would be very difficult to keep a firm grip on, if they're aren't really any boundaries people can go out of control.
