I'm opening this discussion thread so members can discuss the Off-Topic forum closure, how it affects you, the pros/cons of having an OT forum, etc. It is not a place to discuss who said what to whom or a platform for anyone to continue to seek vindication for accusations or comments made by others that may have precipitated the closure.




For me personally, I'll miss the Off-Topic forum while it's on hiatus... there are many helpful and interesting threads there. I'll miss the discussions on motorcycles, computers, cameras, etc., as well as a few of the freedom and religion ones... although I didn't follow them in great detail myself.

On the other hand, I won't miss the dissension, name calling, and argumentative nature presented by a few individuals in some of the threads. It's unfortunate that the actions of a very few number of members has affected us all.
