The old "Living Room" had a board for sports, a board for wrestling, a board for entertainment, technology, news. "The Den" had boards for personal venting/ranting and beer reviews, among others. We had the "House of Stupid" that acted as a kind of catch-all for whatever didn't fit elsewhere. Basically, there were a lot of different places for discussion. We may not have the activity anymore to justify having all those boards, but a single board to encompass everything outside of the drafts and showdowns seems like it could be a good idea.
And to give credit where it's due, it was actually The Canadian Content 's idea to have a place somewhere to talk about stuff. I just liked that idea.
