A new forum for non-chess related topics

[Vladimir Drkulec]

I would ask everyone to post topics that are not chess related into this sub-forum. Thanks.

Thanks Vlad. This sub-forum may have come about from one person being a bit unreasonable and obstinate IMHO, but a separate forum is what I originally suggested on behalf of purists, too, so I guess it took a little dust-up to finally get it off the ground (also remember that some people may strongly dislike viewpoints that disagree with their own, but may even choose to post in this sub-forum):

In the meantime, I've created many threads/poll-threads in this sub-forum basically representing all the non-chess topic threads that I could find that were posted by anyone in the main English discussion forum, up to the present time (when from then on posting such topic threads in that and the other sub-forums is 'officially' not approved of - though blog entries continue to be exempt, I assume).
