Is "District Common" = "Off Topic"?

[Olson185]

I was under the impression "District Common" was intended to be the place one *doesn't* focus on topics that fit into one of the other "parts of town" in the Historic District.

Isn't this the place where one can just chit-chat about football, Halloween, music, and etc.?

I think there's a different part of town for talking about poly techniques, identifying furniture and appliances, etc.

Not complaining. Just pointing out one doesn't go to the "town park" to talk with a "shop keeper".

Hey Olson, you are right of course... off-topic, or at least "doesn't neatly fit" is the intent.

I'm personally not too worried about where posts land, I move some from time to time, more for ease of filing / folks finding them later. But thanks for the reminder to members... keeps the work for the mods down

good call. frequency of posts, and lots of activity is more important to a forum than tons of categories for people to burrow into and make posts that don't get read.. I've seen other ones where they have a category for every scenario imaginable. No need for that degree of organization in my opinion.
