In this post David talks about having an off-topic or tangency forum.

That whirring sound was me blinking rapidly at the screen.

I was kind of hoping that David would have started this new thread rather than saying "Maybe a separate discussion tone and whether we should have any non-gaming threads, or a non-gaming forum?" in another thread. Anyway, here it is.

So this was partially brought on by the site change and also noticing that Geoff's comments were getting flagged as spam.

I've created a new user level called Member. It's like being a site user, except you get to create book/project pages, upload files, add clean urls to your contributions if needed and a whitelisting so the spam filter is less likely to purge you comments by accident. Oh, and change your user name if you wish.
