I would like to see all gaming discussion on one board, and all non-gaming related discussion on a different board. Two boards forming one forum (that has a proper search function) is all you need IMO.
I totally did NOT see that Introduction forum, and I looked - I just didnt go into off-topic because I didnt think it would be in there actually, and I generally dont go into off-topic sections on ANY forums Im a member of -
And a pig in a blanket is a sausage wrapped in a pancake - Nothing more
Requiring someone to search for a topic entirely eliminates the possibility of discovering something that person was unaware of. That would yield even less diversity in active topics than there is now.
Furthermore, to make a pool of broad topics work there'd need to be some actual way of aggregate promotion of topics. Otherwise, mere activity of any kind would suppress otherwise active discussions. That's not something that would happen in a place that utilizes pre-packaged suites. It's not a simple thing to translate to, either.
