Well, .harrypotter will stay because there is a lugnet.{theme} group for every
official theme or system, no matter how frequent or infrequent the posting.
The question about moving stuff out of .castle is if anyone is actually
bothered by such traffic. If not, then there is no real reason to move stuff
out. Then the next question is where to hold discussions which are not
currently there. The default place to discuss stuff which doesn't have a group
is .general. If there is a group which is close, and probably interested, then
that group may be a good place to post until the traffic becomes objectionable
(for example, a lot of discussion of ships in general goes on in .pirate and no
one has complained, though sometimes discussion is moved to .boats or
.build.military, or even .castle).
Based on all of this, I don't see a need to open a new group right now, but
others may have a different opinion.
