The off-topic subforum, as I already mentioned countless times, is meant for "light-hearted" discussions, apparently, and people treat it as such(big surprise there, ain't it).I would like to be part of something more accurate than that, but whatever, I guess - if you seriously end up thinking that this is not a problem after you discuss it, then fine.
That description notwithstanding, the Off Topic forum is meant for everything that doesn't fit anywhere else. In a lot of cases, the forum descriptions haven't been maintained to keep up with actual usage.
Yeah, you'll find a lot of "light-hearted" and silly stuff in there, but you'll also find threads that aren't.
If your problem with the Off Topic forum has to do with the "light-hearted" reference in the description, that can be remedied easily enough. If that isn't it, then I don't really understand what the problem is.
