This is pretty much the perfect time to bring this up... as I've had several hours to think about the purpose of this forum and whatnot.
A few people have contacted me about making extra sections and I hadn't really had a good chance to think about the smart thing to do until this evening.
Here's the results:
If you want to discuss non-DB figures on here, or anything else that isn't DB-related like video games, you're welcome to do so in the General Discussion section if you feel you others here might share your interest, however, you have to realize that there may only be 1 or 2 other members on this Dragonball forum who share your interest in something else--there could be 20 people--if so, maybe y'all should make accounts on the same _____ forum and that way y'all can discuss _____ on there together with other people who are interested in ______, and discuss Dragonball on here
. If you're bored with DB and/or have other interests other than DB, seriously, why not just join a non-DB Figure forum, read and post there if you want to discuss non-DB Figures instead of wanting to discuss it on here? 
DBF is for DB Figure discussion, not to accommodate your other interests.
If you were on a tennis message board, you wouldn't find a football section, and I'm not going to lose the focus of this forum by highlighting unrelated content/discussion on here by giving it its own special section. This forum is the home of "Dragonball Figure" discussion, with one other related tangent (the Dragonball Series section, where you can discuss the show, video games, manga, cels, fanart, etc.). This is not the home of "Dragonball and Batman" discussion or "Dragonball and Legend of Zelda" or whatever anybody else is interested in. It is not even going to be the home of "Dragonball Figures and Other Figures". There are PLENTY of other message boards for your other interests, and the best part is... they're free! Join them! I'm a member of like 6 other forums not related to DB whatsoever, and when I want to talk about cars... I go on one of them. I don't make a section for cars so DBF is a one-stop-shop for me.
I'm not trying to be grouchy or something; this site is what it is. It's a Dragonball-focused forum, not anything else. This place is THE PLACE to discuss DB/Z/GT Figures, Gashapons, Toys, and Collectibles. Not THE PLACE to discuss DB/Z/GT Figures, Gashapons, Toys, and Collectibles + Completely Unrelated Stuff.
Edit: However, completely unrelated stuff does have its place here, and that is in the General Discussion section. (I just reread what I said above, and wanted to clarify that).

Plus it just discusses the new actor, not the series and merchandise like DBF does for DB.
