You're missing the point, friend. A lot of the members above have expressed a willingness for the Other category to be open to the occasional non-computer related topic of discussion. As this forum is driven by the membership, you should be amenable to that if it doesn't detract from the site.
In any event, this is a call better suited for Nathan, not yourself. You've overstepped.

one thing for sure, im not missing the point Hipster Doofus
and im not overstepping anyone here
or maybe youre the one who did not get my points of view
thats why im asking why not putting a section for "OFF TOPIC" a non computer related topic section

[size=16]its only my opinion[/size], because as i said i experienced already here
i started a topic in"other" and someone from the admin says [highlight]its not computer related topic[/highlight]

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Race, religion, and politics should not be discused in this forum. These subjects eventually lead to harsh words and bad feelings, and drive away members (to wit: Mac). There are forums specifically for such discussions, but CH is not one of them. With all due respect to the CH membership, I feel that DL65 did what was right for this forum.

That post was meant for dl. I meant to modify it and include his post, but apparently I don't have the option to do that for some reason.

I've apparently done all the damage I can do here. Perhaps I should just slip back into the shadows now, unless there's anybody else I can think of to offend.

Juck that got nasty, these topic's should be avoided at all costs,

I had thought that the other forum was For posting Anything, But if thats not the Case , any point i tried to make is Null and Void return 0;

How about we make a trial "Anything Else" Bored,
Keep it high moderated

No religious stuff or anything that could cause offence.

We all spend tones of time here and perhaps an Off topic board would be a good thing as it would let us get to know each other better.

If you really wanted you could only make it viewable to people with a certain post count or something that way the regulars can talk to each toher etc.

its just a idea.

It's not really an "Anything else" board if you ban half the stuff. Religion is only a problem when people don't respect each other... everybody seemed pretty respectful here.

I have been looking to see if it's possible to create a off-topic board ....... but it appears only the admin can do that .........
Flame may be able to confirm this as I think he has been playing around with the YaBB 2.1 forums

Yes, it would require Nathan, if he ever comes back.

Neil · « **Reply #28 on:** July 31, 2006, 05:37:07 PM »

What does Nathan actually do? Is Computer Hope a real company?

R0SS · « **Reply #29 on:** July 31, 2006, 05:52:28 PM »

he is the main Administrator so he has overall power of the forums.
