Personal spaces?

A while back, tlarkin suggested a category where he could answer computer tech questions.  Good idea.  It hasn't been used much, but it's nice to know it's available.  And last night I gave texast her personal category too, so she could start spreading the word according to T.  It seems to me we're onto something here.

I'm going to set up a Topic section called "Personal Spaces," where people can start their own threads.  Although I hope people will continue to socialize in the Break Room, and post about shooting and guns in the relevant Topic sections, anyone here can request a personal space.  Ideally, I'd like to see people kind of staking out their personal territories in them, talking about their special areas of knowledge or things that are near and dear to their hearts.

But there are no restrictions.  If you request a Personal Space it's yours, period.  You can start threads about anything you want, barring stuff so patently offensive it breaks even my loose rules.  They'll be normal threads of course, where any other member can weigh in.  But if someone else starts a thread in your space, I'll move it or remove it.

If you want your own space, you can let me know in this thread or send me a private message.  Let's see how this works out....
