I was thinking, since we have a general programming bored, why not setup a general Object Oriented Programming board, quick/easy way to find OO associated topics and such, just a suggestion ^^

I'm against. There are already enough programming forums, and the programming section of these forums is (IMO) not popular enough to constitute a reason to make more programming forums.

OOP topics fit on the General Programming forum, on the Advanced Programming forum (if they don't suck), usually on one of the C++, Java, .NET forums...

I agree with Yoni. I don't think we need yet another forum just yet.

OOP is not off topic for general programming. Who uses an non-OOP language anymore? IBM mainframe programmers(RPG) maybe. That makes OOP a pretty general topic, I would say.

.NET has its own forum, as does Java, because there's practically no overlap between those. People interested in something Java specific really arent just learning how to code a loop, they're wanting to talk about Java class libraries, design patterns, and related topics. Same with .NET people.

Anyone who programs in C. That makes up the majority of the *nix operating system developers.

All the ones I know tend to have begun using C++ at least a little.

Until we stop using C, we're still using non-OOP languages. :P Using an OOP language for some projects (or even within a non-OOP project) does not mean abandoning the other design philosophy/techniques.
