I know I have the admins against me, but I think wargamers' discussion should be about wargames. And keep it to that. I want all topics about favourite beer or "cool vidios" on another site. Let the Wargaming forum be about wargaming, other stuff doesn't belong in there. If you want to post a link to a "cool vidio", then you have 255 letters to do so in your signature.

You have one admin against you, at least, because I originally came up with the name "Wargamers' Discussion". The point is that it's simply a place where Wargamers can discuss stuff. Now, the reason that it's not something like "Other Discussion" or "Off-Topic Discussion" is because it tends to make people believe that it's for any old crap, and thus it attracts some spam. That's not entirely true; my intention when creating that name was to make the change in the board subtle but still palpable. Instead of simply discussing other aspects of the hobby (like the previous version was), it existed as a place for people who played Wargames to discuss things other than Dark Elves. That meant that you can discuss pretty much anything under the sun, and it still does. The only cap is to avoid spam/flame/trolling (duh) and high controversy: politics and religion, for instance.
I thought that the current title managed all this quite effectively, and if others didn't notice than that was all right by me. The way I saw (and still see) it, the users would kind of realise that they had more freedom but not be entirely sure how much. So they would slowly diversify their discussions. I think it's gone spectacularly so far, especially with that "Is Chaos Evil?" topic. It had to be locked eventually, but it was reminiscent of the old days when we could discuss such edgy topics calmly and logically and in a generally friendly manner.
