That is really good news. Trash Talk was such a negative term.

True, but there already is a `General' forum and a `Competitors' forum. What is the difference between `General' and `Off-topic'? And how can a new post be off-topic? ``I think I'll just post something off-topic now...'' Eh?

The only problem with `trash talk' was that things tended to get shoved there for no better reason than the discussion was unfocussed (which is a polite way of saying that Mr Charbax disagreed with the points stated :) ). I though that `trash talk' was a place for people to come and swear at each other?

Perhaps the admins should accept reality and create a forum called `Loud, bitter arguments between Charbax and everybody else'? Something for everybody in that one, I think ;)

I think the problem was that "Trash Talk" and just plain "Trash" were being used as one. They really have two different meanings. I don't think it should have been looked at as being so negative as it was.

Perhaps the admins should accept reality and create a forum called `Loud, bitter arguments between Charbax and everybody else'?

LOL Actually though "Loud, bitter arguments between Charbax and a select few" would be more acurate.
