Well for me , I have already selected an option in the pool which is the naija politics and other discussion because I believe this makes it a little less insulting
as having one of your discussion moved to off-topic even if it's in the local board.
Other discussion will make the main local board to very less active, because all non bitcoin related threads are going to be reported and moved to other discussion. Later it will only result to people want off-topic board again. Off-topic board is not insulting but should be for what it should be for.
If other discussion should be created, we still need off-topic board, which would be what will later happen.
I think I concur to your opinion about the off-topic board, normally this forum was created for bitcoin discussion and bitcoin related activities so the main local board should serve for discussion about bitcoin while every other discussion should stand as an off-topic discussion. Navigating through the local board we can see that most of our discussion in the board are centered on politics, society, and the economy, so all of these can serve as off-topics therefore creating a sub board that will stand as a medium to interact and discuss threads that ain't bitcoin related should all be classified as off-topics.
