:And onto the questions - I've heard of how the board used to be two boards - were they divided into 'on topic' and 'off topic'?
This is true. For awhile it worked pretty well.
:And why was 'the other board' taken away?
I can't give you the definitive answer to this because only Kevin (or perhaps some reds) know the whole truth. Basically, the other board was difficult to monitor. there were discussions on there that were absolutely inappropriate. Since it really didn't have any discussions about VA, Kevin got rid of it and turned this board into more of a free-for-all like it was before the Other Board was around.
:And yes, I know I'm probably coming off like a complete newbie right now, by bringing up a topic that's probably been done to death, but I'm a curious little monkey.
Nah. Newbies don't take the time to ask about things like this. I newbie is defined by attitude, not the amount of time a person has been on the board.
