How about a Food forum?

[ultimatebob]

With all of the food related topics showing up in Off Topic lately, I'm starting to think that it might be a good idea to open up a separate food forum.

What do you guys think?

No way. OT is the perfect place for that sort of thing.

Isn't Off Topic getting a little crowded, though? It usually has more active topics in it than all of the other Anandtech forums combined. As it is, we already have folks asking hardware and networking questions in Off Topic just because that's where everyone is most of the time.

OT is barren , without the food threads, it would be like a ghost town

You do realise this is a tech site right? OT is more than enough; if you want food go to Egullet or something.

How about a whine forum? 😛

No, then they'd need to make a cheese forum to go with it. 😛

Food threads are perfectly fine in OT - they're just the *ahem* flavour of the week. 😀

Why do people bother asking this? We don't have a search function you can rely on (with no fix in sight) and the programming/gaming split has fallen on deaf ears for centuries.

True, I remember people talking about splitting it off way back when, wanting to discuss auto-calculation programs for their abacuses or some-such thing in a separate forum.

There are more freedomsbeatoff YAGT's than food threads. Maybe they should get their own forum. :roll:

Agreed, least some folks forget that the majority of forums are mainly about discussing technology.

1999 was a different century, so was 2000. If the topic was raised any time in those two years, the 'centuries' claim is legit. 😉
