All I want is someplace where I can go to holler about how much I hate my mechanic or laugh at the latest nonsense on the T.V. or whatever without getting yelled at for being off topic. And before you tell me "well, there's always chat" you should know that there ISN'T always chat. Some days I can't get into chat at all and on MOST days it takes me three or four and sometimes as many as six tries before I can get past that stupid "Unable to contact host. Retrying" message. You have any idea what a pain it is to have to shut down the internet and then bring it back up repeatedly like that? Besides, in order to talk to all the people I'd like to talk to I'd have to sit in chat 24 hours a day because we're not all on at the same time, yanno? Please, give us a place where we can be "off topic" and where we can get away from all the "don't say anything that could possibly be considered negative" attitudes in the rest of the forums.
