Would we be able to have have a general (including off-topic) sub-forum on the boards here??? I think it would be a good thing for helping people to relate to one another with potentially off-topic discussions (with grounds rules of course,... i.e.: not politics, religion, adult topics nor personal attacks, etc.). I also think it would be a good place to have a pinned into thread or sub-board where users can post a little about themselves,... why they are interested in LinuxMCE, etc.
I see this on many forums, and generally, where people get to give a little of their background, there is more harmony and understanding. When you understand a person's viewpoints and life experience, it's easier to find common ground...
You can make one topic, where we can do that, that is also common, you can do it in general, and every body knows it is there.
