Off topic forum?

[quantumsaint]

There is no reasonable expectation for a company to provide non related forums for visitors. It's nothing but childish entitlement to think otherwise. Your interests outside of FF is not SE's concern, nor are they obligated to facilitate them.

Eh, I disagree. S-E would do well to note what other people have an interest in. They already have taken note of the ponies. By providing a off topic forum, they would expose themselves to a ton of market research that otherwise they'd have to pay for. "Oh look, these guys are really excited about these features from this upcoming game called Tera, maybe we should look into implementing something similar," or "Wow, these guys really like this show called Game of Thrones, what is it about it that makes it so captivating? How can we provide the same quality of narrative?" Ignoring the likes and dislikes of your playerbase is retreating into Tanaka's bubble land.

And childish entitlement? Really? It's a common enough feature on just about every other forum.
