Well, i was browsing afew other forums i frequent, and noticed some sections that i think may be nice to have around here.

the three are

a section to ask for real life advice
A section for off topic Debates (this may need strict moderating though, but it is certainly an interesting section on the forums i visit)
and a section for serious discussion about world events and such things (for example, a topic about the japan disaster would go here)

I was just thinking these may be nice additions to the forum, so i thought i would suggest them.

I'd say at least 2 of those are covered by the Off Topic Forum already. That's the last 2. The first idea crops up there every so often as well, but I think the general opinion of that sort of thing is that you shouldn't have to ask about RL issues in an internet forum for model soldiers as there are dedicated RL issue forums and help websites out there already. Advice is often given though, but it's mostly contradictory or bad.

I would have to say the above poster has it spot on.
