Neither Warbler's Place nor Psycho_Dayv's forum went anywhere. I've seen separate boards for off-topic sections in action, and it doesn't work. I don't know if it's laziness or what, but they never seem to take off - or have the same steam - as the original board.
Well, I wasn't talking about another Warbler's Place(boy, was that stupid idea and a stupid name for a forum). I was talking about a forum that would be the official Off Topic section for ot.com. We would still be affiliated. One of the reasons mine and davy's forum didn't work was we were completely separate forums. People felt that they had to choose between here and those places(even though they really didn't have to, they could have been members of both), and that was no contest. We could never generate enough membership and that wouldn't be a problem with this idea. All the forum members here would be members of the separate place. There would be no competition, ot.com would be the place to talk about Star Wars and fan edits and preservations and the new separate forum would be its off topic section.
