no, we want the dump for stupidity, off-topic for neutrality, and this new one for mega serious stuff. |

Won't work, because some things for the Off-Topic need to have a grey area.
You could make it so only mods and admins can give the power to go there, with having to be a good intelligent member to get in. Like on Smashboards. |

It isn't necesarilly "off-topic" but it isn't on topic with anything else. Off-topic seems to intertwine with the dump. That isn't what the new topic is about. |

No, that wouldn't quite work. The name "Off Topic" implies that it's a non-serious area... so either we rename off topic, make a new area, or change the Dump's name to Off Topic and then change the original Off Topic to serious discussion. |

Well Off-Topic means its not Gaming, Anime/Scifi, or Geek Gear (or other site realated forums). It is not in the websites central topics, hence it is Off-Topic.
Do you have a better name that would encourage better discussion? I cant really think of anything right now |

I'm thinking either serious discussion or Real World discussion. Other discussion still seems like off-topic. |

On a board I go to, they have Off Topic/ Random Stuff for, well, random stuff, and General Discussion, for (semi) serious stuff if that works for you. |

Yeah, if we're talking about intelligent people making intelligent conversation, then serious like "death and taxes" would be a proper area.
We most literally have no area for this type of discussion. Discussing government, education, etc., is something I've not seen happen.
Also, I would advise that if this thing does happen, we don't have a religious discussion. Those NEVER end well. Trust me... |

Is talking about SERIOUS things in a SERIOUS way something that we shouldn't be able to do on this forum, if so, tell me... otherwise, we should have a forum dedicated to SERIOUS discussion of SERIOUS things. |
