It's official, Off Topic has more posts than General NBA (as of this post) Of course this has nothing to do with a certain member returning and contributing over the past week :g:
I agree, they're both important to the site, but some basketball forums I know of don't even have an off topic/general discussion section, and I think that's what separates us from the rest, we have great basketball talk, but also a great community with plenty of other discussion going on for when you don't want to talk about basketball; it's a good balance.
Its not like General Basketball is the only Basketball section. Overall there are 95,210 posts in basketball sections, so I don't see a problem with off topic having more than general NBA. Plus like I said, it adds to the community, guys get to know each other, IMO its good for the board as a whole.
haha yeah, it has alot to with JB posting here 300 times a day..but imo, it's good..we get to know eachother better, and it's a place where we can talk about stuff outside of basketball

Agreed 100%. I wish we would have a lot more posts in General NBA, but we have too many off-topic posters. I don't like this, but oh well. I don't post in off-topic much at all, I'm here to talk basketball.
You guys are forgetting that the NBA talk isn't only in General NBA - we have the team forums, we have Misc Basketball, we have the draft prospects, all those things add up and It's probably more than Off-topic.I just added it all up...we've got 92,255 posts about basketball...that's double the off-topic posts combined.

People are going to post where they want to, what's the problem if they want to post in OT? I don't understand why Tony has a problem with this.

Maybe averaging 600 is a little low, but it definitely a lot lower than 850-1k
