It looks like the Off-Topic section currently.tounge
Whatever, it’s not a big deal, I know many members wanted to do away with it all together.

It’s very hard to decipher what is On and Off topic. I mean they are generic.

on topic should be more serious discussions and such

I know.
I have my own idea of what “On-Topic” should be, but I realize that might not be shared with other memberstounge
I’m not sure how it was ever supposed to be desided what was concidered on-topic vs off topic.

I think what was intended was for all topics in on-topic to be on the topic.
Off topic is the inverse.
Though, what should have been done is never to have made on-topic at all. By making it, the meaning of off-topic was moved from “things that don’t fit anywhere else” to closer to “do just about whatever you want, whereever you want."
And of course, such attitude just spills on everywhere else, because on-topic is treated pretty much the same as off-topic many times.

But it’s more then just following the theme of the thread.
Skully’s right in that (at least I thought) it was for more serious talk (or at the very least focused).
I liked the on-topic section because it was easier to find the topics I was discussing with someone without it getting lost in the trash.
Not that those topics are around much anymoretounge...meh, even less then before that section was created.

And and I don’t think its made much difference in types of topics in off-topic...at least not from what I’ve seen.

Ah well, doesn’t matter.
If I have something to discuss I’ll just put it in politicssmiley.
