Off topic forums began on MF because political and personal discussions started overwhelming the lobby. The need to separate is understandable. But, in this day and age when there is so much division, it gets crazy. I tried. It wasn't worth the hostility it brought. I am moderating the lobby now. There are some pretty cool conversations popping up there. I'm digging it and trying to head off any topics that are aimed to become political. I'd love to have your help. :-)
