The new beginning of Off-topic subforum?

@sirMAXX better give up cause we cannot win to bring back the Off-topic sub-forum it dead locked, it close will never be open RIP :cry:

Even my little nudge in the avast forum during my 5 question interview landed on deaf ears… :cry:

haha best topic ever made http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=16386.0

right, i figured after five years its dead but i was asking if its ok to post off topic stuff here?

General Topics
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

lol the toilets pictures are too funny i cant stop laughing. ;D LOL

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.

+1 :wink:

The problem is that “wishing” doesn’t make it so.

Let’s not have any talk of an off topic anything, it might make Pavel nervous.

We’re getting away with a lot of off-topic stuff now.

Let’s not rock the boat!

let's not rock the boat
You're right. :)

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!!!

You’re right, Bob…

…but perhaps at christmas. :wink:

+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.)

I did the same on mine…

well i promise i wont post anything about toilets

Erm…Wow guys…Magic can sometimes be dangerous…
Do you think that is true?

WARNING:Do not watch the video, it is disgusting…

I think they closed it because that the Off-topic has no sense to security at all. One good point…

Others is that its was maybe sharing too much spams there.

I think you all now prove it in this topic that im sure they want to close the General lol. Would be funny isnt ?

I think since you weren’t here at the time this forum was open, you shouldn’t speculate as to what caused the closure
of the Off-Topic forum. :frowning:
