And it's misread strong language that can bring about hostility. Remember, we can't hear tonal changes in your text to denote sarcasm or cynicism. |

I think an OT lounge is a recipe for disaster. I already really dislike people on this board from on topic posts, I don't need OT forums to fuel more hate. PM people or join a chat room if you are feeling really social.

The main problem is that disputes and ill-feelings from the Lounge would end up spilling over into the other forums; people who were bickering about politics weren't able to forget that argument when they were discussing Shadowrun. Given that the forums are under-moderated as it is, I'm not keen to re-add another forum that has a history of not working on Dumpshock. Not this week, not this month. Especially when the argument for re-adding it was presented as a thread-jack. ;-) |

Where would you suggest it be raised? The other forums barely get read as it is, and non Shadowrun threads aren't allowed. Which is really a large part of the reason so many borderline OT threads consistently pop up as it is. And as this thread does pertain to the direction of community involvement in the site, I don't consider it to be that far off as it is.
And if there are serious problems where people can't keep politics or personal disputes out of completely unrelated subjects, handing out temp bans and read only access sounds far more reasonable than just shutting down the forum altogether. |

There is a feature request forum, private messaging, email... Use more appropriate channels if you simply must discuss the concept of an off topic forum. The administration is well aware that some members are very passionate about wanting an off topic forum. They are aware of the benefits and pitfalls that such a forum brings to a community like ours. They've made a decision on the issue, and we have to assume it's the right decision for this site at this time. For now you'll have to use one of the off-site forums founded and/or frequented by our members current and past to sate your miscellaneous chat requirements.
This is not the thread for this discussion. |

I volunteer. I can send you my qualifications if you want. |

i think what they want is something like news.dumpshock.com, or something, so it's actually a part of DS, but i'm honestly not sure
