i think this forum should just stick to mopeds and moped stuff, for sure. i suppose if you set up an OT forum, i might go to it, but i look at it this way: i come here for mopeds. that's not to say i don't get sucked into a low-brow (or intellectually stimulating) OT thread here and there, but honestly, i don't need it. i need the moped stuff. i love the moped stuff.
i am new here. i'm not so new that i don't know my way around a bit. there are new people all the time. if someone comes on who is new and sees a bunch of non-moped related crap, he/she may get turned off. that would be bad.
when i got here, the thing that kept me coming back was the collective wealth of knowledge. i got help all the time--i was able to give it as well, i think.
if the gen forum is filled with other crap, that person who may have been drawn to mopedding might go away. i got sucked in here from a seemingly innocent CL purchase for a gift for my girlfriend--now she has that one, and i have 2.
if you set up another forum for OT, i think the gen forum needs to be outlined a little more specifically. if not, there will be a grey area of what is OT and what is not.
there's my two cents--thanks for asking.
