I also think it would be great to have a dedicated off-topic section.
The entry page to this board (When you click on IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover) should be locked for normal users and be used for official announcements only. This would somehow 'force' (although I don't like that word in this context

) the users to place their topic into the related sub-board, which would enhance the readability.
When speaking of the sub-boards, I find it often confusing to see the same threads appear in different sub-boards, for example topics inside the "Technical threads" board are also shown in the "FM/DM threads" board. Maybe it's just me but I find this really unusual and confusing
Nevertheless, thanks for asking for our opinion
