[mod hat off]
In regards to keeping or removing the OT forum. If it is removed, all that will happen is General will revert to how it was before, when every other post was "OT: blah, blah, blah". Off-Topic chit chat is nothing more than what happens in a community. Although there are exceptions to this, the majority of car sites out there have Lounges, Off-Topic areas, and the like. Completely removing a forum instead of simply cracking down on personal flaming is like cutting off your arm so you can't get a paper cut.
