While I regularly see off topic discussion in the NN I've also seen it largely, when given the opportunity, used for good and if anything the off topic just giving people a place to chat (which is why I said there is self-evident demand for a more free form group chat, over a linkshell which is more structured).

When someone asks a question it's /usually/ helpful answers, and many of them. Occasionally I've seen some disagreement, but of that it too is usually fine.

So of three groups- doing it's job, being an chat center, and causing issues- it largely does the first two in my experience.
