No discussion board?

Will there not be a discussion board or am I not finding it now?

I'm not sure if the non Listal forums are going to be continuing since they are used so infrequently.

I can see the reasoning for closing them, and it gives spammers less places to hide. Perhaps a compromise might be to have one other forum section, simply called 'General Discussion', where people can start threads on any topic, rather than the range of sections we currently have.
