It seems like if Side Conversations is going to be for more specific and less general topics that Cafe Society and The Game Room would be more appropriate there.

Maybe we should take a page from Straight Dope history and move everything to Side Conversations except “Comments on Cecil’s Columns” and “General Questions.” Those were the first two forum areas and for quite a few years all we had, you know; Ed said at the time you could divide up the entire world that way. 😃
