I've enjoyed numerous off-topic forums on various forums, but am not sure what rich use it'd have since there are already so many of them out there. The obvious exception I can think of is if several Filter Forgers get into an extended, tangential discussion and want to keep meandering without derailing an existing thread.
I'm enjoying using Filter Forge to create http://torley.com/textures |

Good idea to help keep Filter Comment Strings from going off topic. LOL.... I can see it now.... Filter Forgers using it to duke it out in political debates.....
 LOL....Steve

i'm kind of with torley on this one. what little off-topic stuff we get into here it usually comes back around to the on-topic. i'd rather talk filters here. still, it is nice to have a salon/bar/coffee house almost anywhere. there's ALWAYS something that just doesnt fit in somewhere and this is a different set of folks, so exposure to new things from new folks is always good.
maybe the 'gallery' could just double for this purpose, or the general discussion forum. If wishes were horses... there'd be a whole lot of horse crap to clean up!

I think the off topic idea could be a good one -- since people seem to get to know each other here to some degree. It may help keep things even more active here? (A possible draw-back may be heated discussions that turns into nasty flamings and/or trolls... But I was imagining stuff more along the lines of sharing jokes, etc.)

Just have a no politics/religion rule, that should prevent most issues.

I must admit having serious doubts about the necessity of this -- I'm all for keeping it 'semi-strictly' FF, like it is now. While I'm guilty of friendly excursions into off-topics and occasional mild ridiculousness like most of us, I'm quite fond of the current ratio of signal to noise. Besides, don't we all spend way to much time on forums already? There is a first life to be enjoyed and loads of filters to be made...
