I've given a few examples but like I said the main appeal of this section to me at least would be the vibe. It's hard to put into words but I liken it to a conversation you would have if it were just you and your friends then compare it to how you would talk if your younger brother or sister were listening in. That's not a knock on our younger members because a lot of them are very smart and mature and a couple of them are good friends of mine. But there'd be an undeniably different vibe in a section like this. Some of you don't think that alone warrants making a new section and I respect your opinion. I just wish that so many people weren't using taboo content as a reason for not creating a section exclusively for people 18 years and older.
A more mature version of the chit chat cafe shouldn't open up the floodgates for nothing but mindless smut. If this section were to become just that then feel free to come up to me and say I told ya so, but we're never going to know unless it's given a fair chance.
I'm just repeating myself at this point and so are many of you so I'm just going to quote BlahISuck whom I think said it best on page 2 of this thread.
I just wish that you guys weren't so adamant against the concept of this section actually working. It could go wrong but I've seen this kind of thing work on other forums before including one that was predominately considered family friendly.
I'm just worried that if this section were given the green light we'd be receiving various complaints and reports from people who just want to see the section die without giving it a fair chance.

Discussion is good, but "enforced" discussion to me seems fundamentally flawed - it takes away from the spontaneity. Ideally, I have nothing against this forum if it can be done right.
Going back to my point about "if it can be done right", we'll be needing some high-quality, heavy-duty mods in charge of the area. Under-policing it can cause us a lot of pain, but over-policing it will kill its purpose in the first place and make it redundant next to the CCC. So not only will we need people with good judgement, but also people open to this kind of discussion. That's a practical issue we have to think about: do we have the personnel capable of running such a section?
I don't think we should think too hard about a mandate of topics for the section, especially since its purpose is to reach a certain vibe and not necessarily to talk about certain things. Given my understanding of the memberbase as I've experienced it, I'm sure the discussion will come.
