anything and everything about this board
So its mean if it is related to security/pc… and no sex or what ever then its ok if it isnt then its a no and i think they will watch you very close lol.
I completely agree that there should be a place to post completely Off topic things. Either that board should be resurrected or a new one with better control should be created. I enjoy some of the things that have been posted here and am guilty myself of possibly pushing the envelope. ;D
Many seem to think this is a social forum rather than a support forum. That includes both new and old users. That’s one of the reasons, though I’ve been a member here six plus years, I don’t show up around here very often. Personally, I think that the off-topic stuff gets in the way of why these forums exist.
The original Off-Topic forum got carried away, was closed, and so it didn’t screw up people’s post counts, was left in archive, rather than being deleted from the forums. As I understand it, the Off-Topic forum is a dead duck, period, end of story. And in my opinion, that’s a good thing.
A final thought…
From Pavel’s comments, quoted in my previous post:
Please do not use the other specialized forums for off topic stuff.
To my mind the most frustrating OT at the moment is UPDATES. Over the last few months the “chatter” has got worse. When you are busy and notified of an update nothing worse than finding nothing other than opinions!!!
+100% It isn’t hard to start a new thread to discuss a product or it’s update.
The update thread should be just what it’s title implies.
I also don’t see any need for posting notifications for programs that
automatically update their own program. If hyou use that program, you receive
a notification, If you’re not using the program, then you don’t need to know about
the update either. ;D (Just my opinion.)
