i notice that a forum for a productive effort gets much less useful if there is a "general" sub form. It seems to ruin organization permanently.

One could in stead have a "i don't know where to put this" section that forces the mod to move or delete it.

Then on the other hand, I know of some off topic situations that I consider very valuable, because any forum set up specifically for the topic in question would draw a very different audience.
