Back in 2000/2001 (just before I registered!) the Off-topic forum was added due to too many "OT: blah blah blah" posts in the General forum. After the cgi/php switch in August 2002, that forum was deleted again due to too much drama having been in it that summer. Unfortunately the "OT" posts in the General forum started up soon after again. The Common Interests forum is primarily a release from this issue. It's almost an impossibility having it gone. I don't have the authority to say this, but I do hope the forum rules will be more strictly enforced/followed and "CI blackouts" such as this one will happen more often just to keep people straight.
While I'm on a rant making suggestions as such, might as well say I think something should be done about the search and repost nazis as well. My apologies if I am acting out-of-place saying this.
