It's not Bitcoin, it's an alt-coin so thus should be moved there in my opinion. The Bitcoin discussion page doesn't give any space to other alt-coin and Ripple should be no different. We're just advertising it by letting is hang out up here.
ripple is not a alt-coin.. ripple is an exchange, so technically would be in the services section
XRP is not a crypto coin, it has no minable blockchain, much like amazon coin, postal stamps, facebook credits
Discussion of XRP could move to the alt-coin section, but discussion of Ripple as a distributed exchange should stay right here. The lack of distributed exchanges is one of Bitcoin's biggest problems and deserves a lot of attention.

if only more of us realised the main use of ripple is to move bitcoins, litecoins, fiat between people. and the fee for this task is a postage stamp known as XRP.
