what if we tried to preserve both, BUT since the main idea of the forum is Heroes, we could slightly hide the off-topic discussions – place a link to all the topics and navigate from there... and leave only the Heroes-related sections on the main page; those who want to chat and engage in off-topic discussions will simply have to click on the link, i.e., consciously enter the off-topic section, because when off-topic discussions are on the main page, and you see them, you realize that the topics there are less serious and diverse, and people stay there...
another thought is to strictly control the off-topic discussions... for example, a topic about Mavrodi, Yeltsin... these are significant figures, but very little good comes from discussing them... so what's the point? I'm not suggesting limiting freedom of speech in any way; I'm suggesting narrowing the range of off-topic topics, and some of them have been abandoned for a long time, so maybe we should clean up the off-topic section?
we could also hold a creative contest on the Heroes theme, or an avatar contest (a real one, not the imitation that exists)... Tournaments are tournaments, but they will also get boring eventually... we need to look further ahead and develop the forum in several directions...

on HeroeSportal, this is solved by awarding arrows, but how are you going to attract people to your school?
and once this school is opened, people will come on their own, and prizes are something that can be acquired... we could give some kind of portal currency or something similar to Rep.

it would also be good to reorganize the moderators... there are many of them, but in reality, only a few are working... so what's the point of such a large management team?
