The thing is, we have
lots of forums, making another one for off-topic is not only adding to that list, but moving the stuff around is work for whatever Moderator is online at the time.
Now, I'll admit I'm far from the worlds most active FS2 modder atm, I more than likely have more posts in GenDis than any other forum, and with 10k posts, that's a lot. But really, it's no more trouble to scroll past Freespace and down to GenDis than it was to scroll past GenDis down to Freespace.
I, for one, would rather not have to read every thread in GenDis to make sure it doesn't need transferring to another forum, or put up with things like being told I'm not 'fair' because I moved one topic, but not another etc, which is bound to happen.
This way, everyone gets what they want, there's still somewhere for those off-topic rants, the coders can use the SCP on their resumes' without being too embarassed to send prospective employers to look at their work, and new visitors get directly introduced the what we have achieved here.
From my point of view, everyone who takes part in the SCP or the FSU or the projects should be proud of themselves, and I'd rather people saw that side of the site a little more
All it really takes is one extra roll on the mouse-wheel, is that really such a terrible blow?
