Forum games are boring. I take no interest in them and would prefer legitimate discussion, like we have here. That said, an off topic forum would still be appreciated, just for easing people into the Downs. There are a lot of topics which would only really belong in an 'Off Topic' sub-forum, rather than 'Novices and Newcomers' and 'Movies'.

I don't know... my experience of OT subforums on other sites is that they tend to devolve into conspiracy-theory battlegrounds.

The refreshing thing about the Downs has always been its decided omission of off-topic claptrap and bilge. No need for extraneous political arguments, religious wars, stupid pet tricks and reality TV indiscretions. Just Tolkien-centric talk without the filler.
