If forums are going to be reorganized... Some of the OT conversations have to do with hardware: "What kind of graphics card should I buy" "Is this chipset really faster?" "Are LCD monitors any good for x?" and putting those issues into a separate Forum might benefit everybody who uses a computer. The comparative speed tests can be kept there, too, so newbies know what the benchmarks are. Requirements or problems with certain cards or drivers could be gathered here as well. Another group of OT posts concerns the latest worm, virus, trojan, phishing scam, or other hazard. Having a Forum where people could post an alert would again benefit all members. A third group of OT posts concerns entertainment or cultural events: a museum show with costumes or movie using CGI or TV series which inspires the character creators or documentary with historical recreations. Some of these may even have had the involvement of people here. Since inspiration is a necessary part of the creative process, there does need to be a way to share announcements or reviews. In lieu of completely eliminating all posts not dealing with art for art's sake, or the specific tools used to create it, let's determine which of the OT posts are of value and establish a framework for them.
