An off topic category would allow for users to find things in common with other users and maybe even make friends. I’d also think it’d allow for more discussion in the forum and make it more active. I hope an off topic category is put into consideration! Cheers!
I agree that it will Bring more activity to the forum.
Maybe make a poll about it.this way we can see if people feel the need for it, and if it is going to be used in the future. Another possibilty, Instead of adding a catergory, we make it so the “lounge” is accesable for everyone.
