Topics like religion are so complex. It takes a large number of threads in order to discuss them properly - threads that would clutter the "General Banter" section. So I call for a separate sub-forum. Anyone like this idea?

I for one do too.

Ahh, you're right, I see it has been suggested before (though, "countless"? Really?). Regardless, I think I'm still bringing something new to the table... ... Forgive me if I'm not interpreting you correctly, but were you suggesting that you didn't think I was?

I've seen something similar on another forum work quite swimmingly, but they use a custom usergroup with access to the subforum which allows for easier control and makes it easier for mods to do it instead of relying on admin which would be important on a forum this size.Dean wrote:ALSO! I got a good idea to stop the ol' trolls and that from just posting horrible crap in there. Simply make that sub-forum off-limits by adding it to the 'confirmed users' list only. Ratwar could do that in a couple of minutes flat.

Ratwar (At least I believe it was him) already stated how he was against an exclusive forum. I still think it's unnecessary.

Well, it's more interesting then talking about 'what is the best cave in Oblivion' and all that crap. Some of us have answered nearly every question imaginable, and are more here for the community then anything else. These topics would bring some more mature discussion to the forums, which is what it is in need of in my opinion.
If the general banter section of the site wasn't here...well, most users would stay for like a couple of weeks(or days) then leave.

You must make the thread in general banter after PMing one of the mods as Andere instructs on the first page here.
