Could you be a little more specific as to why not? I think it would be great to have a section wherin we could amuse one another without being smacked down by mods or whinged at by mod wannabes (you know who you are). If we can't have one, despite the exciting new server etc, then could we please be told why not and perhaps debate the issue properly instead of being told "you just can't and that's it".
If enough people want an off-topic section, why on earth not? I know that some people on these boards take both themselves and the grave responsibility of running a paintball forum very seriously, and an off-topic section would "clean up" SYB and also provide hours of innocent amusement in a place which all the serious humourless types could avoid. (I bet if there was such a thread all the people who currently piss and moan every time someone posts something funny would still visit it, if only to maintain their sense of superiority.)
We've recently had threads about footy etc remain unmolested and a thread about Europe which if started by anyone else would have been axed in seconds, so there are some non-paintball topics that seem to be ok; let's get them into a section of their own and at the same time have some really good arguments about issues a little larger than paintball.
