Do we need it? Doesn't seem like it gets much traffic.

I think any good board should have an OT forum, just for members to bug out and shoot the proverbial sh**. It's a nice place to go to when you wanna talk about something other than cars.

if theres not ot forum then when people post about nothing it will end up going into the wrong forums, and just annoy us trying to find certain info.

For me its like a the game of solitaire that I have on my puter. I play it to veg out once in while, its about as stimulating as Beavis and Butthead re-runs.

Hey it's not the classiest thing in the world, but I don't think it's really hurting any one and even I admit to having been there every now and then. Sure there's a lot of crap there but overall I think it does more harm than good. I say keep it.

What happened to off topic? It used to be the place to go. Now there is nobody there. Where did the OT crime family dissappear to, witness relocation?

they're just elsewhere now.

I'd motion to keep it.
seeing as it's so little traffic, I'm sure it's not bringing the site down any. But in the same sense, it does get some traffic and at this point traffic is a good thing. The whole site is lacking in activity, removing more activity doesn't seem to be the right way to go.

Go ahead and keep it ,but I would like it if the OT posts were not listed on the home page as recent discussions or most recent posts. I would prefer to see only auto or Subaru related topics listed in that feature because thats why I check into the site.
thanks

Keep it. Some people only go to OT anyways. The problem is is that people only stay if its interesting, which makes it more intersting. If its boring, everyone will leave. But give it a chance, my guess is that it could make a comeback. So it will probably have its ups and downs but leave it.

HEY!! Everyone go there now!
