Yes, it is weird and that is exactly the point.
Both are, essentially, about what's going on in the game. They both should move closer to each other in style. The roleplaying forum could do with a bit more participation, to give posters feedback. The locals forums could do with less discussion and hatred and (thinky veiled) in-character fighting and more reading and watching with a bit of (emotional) distance.
I'm afraid this would blur the line between IC and OOC maybe a bit too much. I think the RP board should at the very least remain its own separate subforum within the large "Gameplay" board (or whatever we call it).
