Sounds like people's idea of fun is pretty diverse (duh), so rather than (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

| | | | (...) Well, sort of yes and sort of no. Just as .off-topic.debate wasn't created just for the sake of having debates, .off-topic.fun wasn't created just for the sake of having fun. Rather, .debate was created for having debates about stuff and .fun (...) (26 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.admin.general)

| | | | | (...) No? Unless you want 3 dozen .off-topic groups for each type of off-topic conversations, it seems a little silly to split them up like that.

| | | | (...) Oh, definitely agreed! But I just think it's good to have a structure/plan in mind so that when a group's time does come, a switch can simply be thrown to turn it on. Otherwise without a structure in place, things grow a bit too organically (...) (26 years ago, 2-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.admin.general)
