Like any other subforum, basically it would have to overrun the OT forum for it to warrant it; adding subforums increases organization but decreases traffic (since people don't want to go into every sub-forum), so usually where we split off a topic is when the OT forum is a very significant portion of a single topic.
Sometimes topics flourish for a while but then go back to normal levels, cars was a requested subforum and at the time there was quite a few topics, but there's 0 car related threads on OT at the moment.
Not averse to new subforums, just keep in mind making them reduces eyeballs for a while rather than increasing them so you have to make sure there's a critical mass to make it sustainable.
