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...
