Edit: A second, simpler alternative would be to divide the column into just two areas, "Hot Topic" and "Hot Off-Topic" - one including the Gaming, Sales and Website sections and a second (smaller) column containing the Off Topic section.

I think this is the best solution. People who want to talk about off-topic stuff will still have easy access to it, and people who only want to participate in gaming threads won't be bothered by off-topic threads anymore.
