Junk Yard Forum

Sometimes we have silly, weird or just useless posts that even the Lounge is not fit for them... instead of deleting them, I think it would be better to have Junk Yard forum to contain those posts and threads.
what's your opinion?

p.s.
if possible, posting in there won't add to post count and reputation will be blocked.

Yeah, in most forums a forum like this is named "Off Topic." The only reason I think the administrators wouldn't want this is because it would in a way encourage spam. :-\

How 'bout we just create an official "off-topic" thread, and throw all our junk in there?

no, I mean threads which are too weird even for the Lounge. can't give any example right now, but I've seen couple. and we already have sheer off topic thead there - the General Discussion thread, although most of the threads go anyway toward offtopicness...

Again, that's the point of the Lounge! There's no such thing as
'off-topic' as far as a 'Lounge' goes...

Ok, £20 says we've had weirder ones at Dev Shed though, and they
either started up in the Lounge, or got moved there because there
because they didn't fit anywhere else...
