I agree entertainment may be a much wider catch-all but I figure the games echo is doing OK and just merging down the movies/tv/streaming/music etc. in one current area may be a lower path of resistance vs creating a new echo.

Likewise for special interests, the niggle there is how to best define what is in/out of scope, so just moving things back to 'general chat' for now seems a better bet... but you'll notice I did keep the crypto echo as I have a soft spot for encoded comms etc.
