Well to be honest, that's what Off Topic was originally about. (I have no idea what it's about now, it seems to have changed a bit since the initial idea.)
We were tossing these ideas around back in late 2005, early 2006. Namely, Gray and I would have long discussions about the aspects of Unmod that were attractive, and those that weren't. I was happy to have an Off Topic forum that would simply cut the crap out (ie: pointless topics where people just post things like "ur mom lolz") quote pyramids, thread breaks. Stuff like that.
Off topic was a place for the topics that actually generated interest in unmod. ie: Consider it a "Best of unmod" forum. Even if that stuff was dirty, or questionable material (think cockbee or boobies thread) that would have a place there. I personally thought that this was a great idea because it took away the unattractive parts of unmod that were keeping a lot of staff members from taking the forum seriously.
I strongly enjoyed visiting unmod daily for those funny threads where everyone was free to participate without limitations, and the lack of the forum hurts me as much as it seems to hurt a lot of people on OCR. I can only hope that when Off Topic does open, it's given the leeway to play out what it was initially intended for.
