YES! YES! YES!
I totally agree! I enjoy OT posts! If something big happened in the the world, I want to talk about it with fellow CGC forum members. If someone makes a post about Ohio State, well I don't really care, I just don't look at it(and anyways BC will kick their butt, BID)
Comic general is where almost everyone hangs out! I love the silver age, but I rarely have time to ever go into that part of the boards. So, when we were ranking the top books of different ages, should those posts have gone under, silver, bronze, art etc. or were they better served by having them listed in the General? I think most of us would agree General is where they should have been.
Heck, I think it was almost 2 years before I ever really knew that there was a place called the Water Cooler and it probably took me a few weeks to even find the place. General feels like I'm 16 again hanging out at the park (or the mall) with my buds and shootin the *spoon* with each other!
But that's just me! :shrug:
