Suggestion about new subforum

[Excited Penguin]

Yes, I got that, except that's actually not how off-topic is defined.

It's how it's defined here.

You would think the staff on an atheist forum would try to be as precise and accessible as it can when it comes to how the whole thing works. Instead, what I find here, is these absurd, enigmatic instances where I end up just feeling unwelcome somehow.

If we were to be as precise as you seem to want us to be, then most threads would go in Off Topic because they wouldn't exactly match the description of the other forums. We're pretty flexible here. We don't often move threads unless it's blatantly obvious they fit better in another forum, and even in those instances, it's when either we spot it on the off-chance or someone reports a thread. We don't go around specifically hunting for misplaced threads.

We're not going to create a new forum that would essentially be another version of Off Topic.

Almost broke the rule about personal attacks.
You didn't provide a good argument. You just basically gave me the finger and shut me up 'cause you didn't like the idea. Very interesting. Nice politics going on here, too, I see.
There's a difference between policing hard on every single thread-maker out there, and providing them with more ways to be as accurate as warranted about where they place their own threads. Then, if someone wanted a dedicated audience, they would just post something in a given subforum, catering to their particular needs, instead of risking to 1) get buried under countless other threads that bare no similarities whatsoever(broadly speaking) with each others and 2) Get distasteful, offtopic and even downright stupid replies.

If, say, a team of people actually wrapped their heads around this, for a given set of days, they might actually come up with some pretty brilliant ideas about covering every single possible subject on the face of the earth(or the outlies of the universe, really) with a new sort of forums distribution. But hey, if I'm really the only one seeing the upsides in this things, then maybe it's not even worth it pushing the idea - you all might just dumb it down anyway, once it's up and running.

I hear alpha pups are not in much of a demand, though, nowadays.
