I personally think this forum is a killer idea. It may even encourage others to post questions that they wouldn't have necessarily posted in a section such as off-topic or in the girls' forum. It's under General Discussion - and is simply a targeted discussion which has broken apart from off-topic.
Sorry mods, not to answer on your behalf, but this seems like a bit of a no-brainer to me (no disrespect intended to anyone). If there's a need / demand for something why wouldn't you make a spot for it?
I like it.
