Off topic exists by purpose (maybe not intent) for random people like us to goof around in. If off topic doesn't exist, it's purpose must be fulfilled by regular forums, as LITO said. Demonstrating the goofiness of an OTFer with a raid would convince people to keep off topic, so that random people like us don't goof in regular forums, instead.

Another alternative would be to just ban people who do things like call for forum raids from posting, so I'd avoid doing that if I were you.

Yeah you're right, otf should stay, but I think it should be split, one for people that want to have fun, and one for serious forums.

no, if we raid, it will almost certainly destroy our reputation, leading to more support for #1. we should not bother about it, as there is no reason for a raid to take place. plus, the mods has already confirmed that otf isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

OTF isn't around because we have good standing, it's because the alternative is having OTFers in regular forums.

Banning never truly stopped everybody, I can count a number of people who have admitted to using an alt because they were banned or shadow banned.

I think OTF should stay simply because it's such a big community, such a loss would be devastating

Why delete a Forum Category? Just don't go in the Off-Topic Forums if you dont like/need them, the Off Topic People can have their fun, you can enjoy the other Forum Categorys. If we do that so, then everybody is happy.

Agree to a point. If those that post OT subjects in GCD were capable of reading and comprehending the appropriate categories we'd be satisfied. If only.

Agreed. Although a recent check showed that 5 of 17 posts were no where near GCD. So nearly one third of them were unnecessary.

It's easy to understand, it's a business decision and it's not our business. Banning, expelling, or otherwise prohibiting the immature posting would be bad for the chosen business model.

Like the serious people are here and the Off-Topic People are on Off-Topic. Where is the problem. As long everybody is nice and friendly?

My thoughts exactly.
