Fair point all, I think though if all topics that are not "on topic" are placed in the wasteland we are just going to get everyone confused, and if you are reading something interesting it will get lost in all the other random posts, i haven't logged on here since last night (broadband down at work) and there is about 4 new pages just today! if i wanted to find something particular it certainly would get confusing.
I think having a subsection for something like "general SA members banter" would be a problem as we would have a subsection for a subsection, but things like "computer jargon" and "the pregnancy thread" "jokes thread" are a good read. Maybe people really need to have something that is interesting or important to SA people before starting a new thread maybe?
Discuss!!
