I have a suggestion.....
Perhaps you would consider putting the
"off topic" forum somewhere easier to notice
so newer members can find it easier.
(Just under the "newbie" section or something.)
Until recent events, I for one, was completely
unaware there even WAS an "off topic" area as it
is waaaay down at the bottom of the page.
Just a thought.......
