There's an idea that I thought of while scrolling through the Arena's commentary in regards to Buddha's suggestions - What if more sections were to include a similar "hangout/chat thread" similar to what Arena has? It's true that OOC/Off-Topic exists and anyone can make a thread chat there, but they're often shut down due to inactivity or become "clique-y". I think it could totally have some merits of uniting parts of the community with similar interests/Roleplaying styles.

Naruto Forums(Also known as "forum hero-academia") does this exact thing, and it's been proven to be rather successful. They have done it for as they have been a site(a bit over ten years iirc). So, I wholeheartedly support this idea. As [@Inkarnate] said, it's a wonderful idea. And who knows, it might just be a way to kill a few troublesome birds that have been brought up in this thread(and its previous incarnation) with one, accurate stone.
