After seeing the main site get a facelift a few weeks ago, I was thinking they should do the same to the forums page. I've been here for a little over a month and have come across some pretty interesting and koo people. Knowing that most of us are here for the same reason, I think it would be nice to have a more expanded forum to have fun and or discuss other topics. The closest thing we have is the "off topic" sub forum. The admins could make a new section on the main forums page called "General Topics". They could either delete the "off topic" sub forum, merge it or just move it under the new section.
In that section it could have up to four to five sub forums that would look something like the example below. I randomly picked the topics but we could obviously do a poll on what topics we would actually want. I think it would benefit the site to add some type of entertainment other than laughing at people who get scammed after being warned about certain vendors. Or maybe that's just me but what do you guys think?
General Topics.
*Deep Discussions-
This is to discuss or debate science, space, religion vs. non religion, the mind on drugs, conspiracy theories, paranormal ect.

No, this is an awful idea.
Keep SR-Forums to SR related discussion only.

<Sigh> Any attempt to turn SR into a social networking site would be a disaster. Social networking sites are, by definition, public -- the very antithesis of privacy.
What an awesome idea!
Remember that Facebook operates under the rules of fiat currency, (a handful of bank execs make the rules). Maybe SR could become a social network that does not sell it's user's details to the highest bidder.

Profile is a verb as well as a noun my friend.

I would not complain if it had a section for trip reports for the products of SR vendors, a section specifically for posting documents / news articles related to online drug scene or LE information, and possibly a hacking/programming section , but other than that it seems fine to me. It should definitely not have a section for music, tv, career, school or sports, some because they are stupid to include on a drug forum and others because they are stupid and would lead to profiling. A section for deeper discussions would not bother me but I can entirely live with out it. Most of those things are already being discussed in off topic anyway.

You would need to add a section tilted porn, or fit women/celebs 8)

I along with more then a couple others are pulling for a Skid Row/Beggars Corner for all the change begging threads. Im tired of them all over my face.

Beggars. Personally they are scum to me, up their with Romanian carpet sellers, thieves and Abu Hamzar.
