I have been wondering why we have Off-topic board in the forum.
This is another description for purpose of Off-topic board. You got one from hilariousandco above.
Off-topic - "Other topics that might be of interest to bitcoiners"
Moderators do move post or threads that are not relevant to the forum to the off topics section, since it doesn't really count especially those members who are in the sig campaign because no sig member I have seen post there, what's the essence of keeping it?
The Off-topic board serves for everyone who want to discuss topics which don't belong to other boards. If you are not interested in getting your posts to be counted in a signature campaign, I am sure you feel well to post in any board for pure discussions.
You can see people who post in
Wall Observer thread in which only avatars enable but signatures disable. They have interests in that discussion and feel happy to join it and they don't care whether signatures are allowed to visually displayed there or disabled.
