No. Never.   ;D

As you see, I'm a VERY infrequent poster.  However, I've been (mostly) lurking here for years.  I'm glad to see this reorganization and refocusing, because the general vibe of the place had definitely gone downhill, to the point where even my lurking was becoming less and less.  I do like the idea of keeping MacAnally's as a general non-directed conversation area -- every board I frequent has such an area, and I find that it's the best, quickest way to get a feeling for the general environment of the board.  What are the board norms, how are they enforced, are new voices welcomed, and so forth. 

As for the chat, I enjoy an occasional chat, but I don't think it serves the same function as a general discussion area.  Yes, that can be both good and bad, but speaking as somebody who tends to lurk more than post, and needs to feel fairly comfortable with the community before posting, I won't even dip my toes into chat until I've posted quite a lot more than I have here, and until I think I'll recognize and be recognized by some of the folks in the chat.

Iago and all the mods -- thanks for all of your work on this project!

People send PM's to figure it out, or just ask in the thread and are informed.

Personally, I kind of feel like a general catch-all (and undirected topic)board might contribute to the problems already encountered before in Mac's... As it is there seems like there's something for everyone in the community section, and then there's always the chat now too :)

Says the guy who killed his best friend Rodrigo for money, and who was indirectly responsible for the deaths of Othello and Desdemona, simply because he didn't get the promotion he wanted.  ;)

Or maybe I'm thinking of a different Iago...

Anyway, I see your reasons for not having an Angst corner anymore, but I still really feel that there needs to be a genuine off-topic section, even if it's only to take rambling from other threads and put them in the proper place.  The problem is that admins will never think of enough categories to satisfy everything, or even most things that people want to talk about.  And threads have a bit more permanence than the chat section, which does make a difference, especially when people have different schedules and can't get to the forum at the same time.
