[Feedback] We need more subcomunities.

So, I feel that we need more subcommunities. I get that this might come later, but I have a few Ideas I'm going to jot down here. I will periodically update the list when I have more ideas/hear a good suggestion.

  1. Off Topic - lets face it, while General discussion may not need to exist, Off Topic certainly does. Not as a trash can/ FEK subcommunity, like it is currently over on the regular forums, but an actual OFF Topic forums, for things not league or riot related in the slightest.
    Example thread: "Why is the Sky blue?"

  2. Trash Can - this is to move deleted topics to. Only needed if it will be used, and it's sole purpose is to hide deleted topics in a place only reds and moderators will be able to access.
    Example thread: "Mods are worthless"

  3. Community Modifications - I feel like a disclaimer stickied on that subcommunity stating riot does not officially support them will suffice. This will be a place to link community mods like custom skins, custom launcher visuals (think the phreak dance), and Forum mods. This way Fan Creations are more for things like champion and skin suggestions.
    Example thread: "CommunityNight Forum Skin"

  4. PBE Discussion - So with Jinx and all the discussion surrounding her, alongside the constant question of "How do I join PBE?" (Protip: You can't right now, registration is closed.), I feel they need to have their own section.
    Example thread: "X new champ has a gamebreaking bug on their W"

That is all I got atm, if you have an Idea in the list, post it below with an explanation of its purpose and an example of a thread that should belong in there. If you need examples, just look at my list for a general form.

Also, apparently I can't spell. If someone can correct the title for me, it should read "[Feedback] We need more Sub-Communities"

The way this system works, why would this even be necessary when the off-topic stuff will just end up filtered down towards the bottom anyway?

I don't see the point of this, especially since in the reddit-style system, a deleted topic will show that it's been removed. Seems like a waste of space.

I always thought that it was pretty standard that Riot doesn't officially support community mods, if for no other reason than it might break the client. Fan Creations is a fine catch-all for this, really; nobody wants a billion subcommunities that will end up unused like the current iteration of the forums.

PBE discussion already actually has its own section. Hell, they were using the reddit style LONG before the community beta: http://community.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/
