I admit that such a place would be a lot more difficult to moderate than our "normal" boards because the difference between spam and content might be blurrier. On the other hand it would also set us apart from the crowd if we can find a way to make it work.
I hope i made my point clearer now.

Yes, but I still do not understand your point, but I'm sure it's because I'm coding all day and night and not thinking, LOL.
Anyone can post and discuss any of the topics you describe in any of many forums or places on this site. There is nothing to preclude anyone from doing so.
If I want to discuss " best practices for being ITIL-compliant?" (your example), I would simply post in "What Is On Your Mind", which is the catch-all area to post.
If I want to talk about "strategic topics", I just start posting in "What's On Your Mind" or "War Stories" or in any of the many other forums here.
We don't have any rules that say "Only Shell Coding Q&A Is Allowed".
What am I missing here?
In the past, each time someone requested a "new forum" and we added that forum or sub-forum, the same person who requested that forum did not post in that new forum very much, LOL.
We have a lot of "requested forums" which I need to deleted because they were requested by members, rarely used, and now exist as "hidden forums" with just a small handful of posts.
