I will say a few things:
This forum is pretty inactive; there has not been a day since September which has had more than 100 posts and the fewer posts there are per day, the fewer hits this site get.
Casual conversation will help revive this forum and make it fun and happy and spammy.

As much as I hate to say it, structuring this so that no one can go off-topic will just make it more awkward, especially when it can only condescend to spam with quotes of semi-seriousness.

I don't know, I just don't think it will help if it's made awkward by more rules. I know you're short on mods and I know no one likes splitting and merging threads, but this forum has been becoming rapidly less active.

I mean to offend no one (least of all DD, who correctly pointed it out, Yonkey or the mods, for all whom I have nothing but the greatest respect), but I do wonder if it's completely necessary to totally ban casual conversations from everywhere but Haven, where serious posts aren't even made.
