Off-Topic forum?

Heya, Charles, and the other fine mods:
I am curious about whether or not you could be persuaded to have an off-topic forum for those discussions which veer-off into non CHL/gun-related territory?

We have brought this up, but a decision has not been reached yet. Mr. Cotton is in the middle of changing and adding some things including Moderators. He has been pretty busy and I am sure we will have an answer before to long. Keep your fingers crossed.

I agree. An off topic forum would be great since many folks on here have good opinions about things other than guns. That's going by many of the private messages that I get and have discussions about other things there. I was about to post about it when I saw this thread. Please do it!

I believe that there are many who would welcome it.

Yah...plus in case of "politcal" banter or whatever it would keep it out of the main area

Or possibly "Open Range"

This was discussed in a previous thread in May and the Site Administrator had this to say.

Charles L. Cotton wrote:We have had at least three requests for a true "general" section and after considering it, we decided not to take on that project for the reasons Glockenhammer stated.

The forum has grown a great deal in the last several months and the workload as increased by at least 50%. In fact, we are trying to change the way we cover the forum to distribute this workload better. Taking on additional work just isn't in the cards, at least not now.
