Frank,
I don't think Kevin (the original poster) is seeking to have things move out
of .castle but he wants a place for the type of fantasy that he does not
feel belongs in .castle nor .space in the first place. He is not seeking the
elimination of theme based groups. He wants a fantasy equivalent to .ancient
or .military who both found a home in .build.
I think of this as a divergance from .castle like .mecha (also in .build)
was from .space.
