It's more that, at the moment the discussion of such topic are ghettoized. If I wanted to start a discussion about a weird new rpg or something I'd have to put it there. Nobody goes there, so nobody is likely to see or respond to it. The purpose of having a seperate forum is to foster discussion about the topic of that forum or prevent the discussion of a single topic from overwhelming the parent forums (thus the existence of the politics forum). If the discussion isn't happening either way, why keep the forum open and force people to go there?
