    seems someone was moving a topic and removed the off topic instead

    Sorry for saying this, but I do not like it. And I think it fucking sucks, and is extremely confusing. Before it was off-topic everybody knew what that was(even though it was quite a lot garbled and stuff). But now ? Shit, I am a bit lost. Is this because some kid began babbling about how "small" the forum was ?

    Really I got tired of all the pm from the 2% who come to a game forum to talk sports.

    I made the off topic forum so that I will never ever get a pm ever again
    about how off topic is too small.

    Well, I have to live with it then. Which will not be the biggest problem .
    Cause life has its changes. Not that I like it, but I will accept it.

    I don't like that either. It wasn't like it was totally overcrowded and 25 new threads were popping up every day, so there's actually no need to create 5 different sub-forums, some of which will end up looking pretty deserted.

    Why not just push Off-Topic down to the bottom of the page if it's supposed to be separated from the regular gaming discussion? This way I have to open 5 times the number of tabs to check what's new. More time wasted.. ugh.

    I don't know how other people browse the site, but all I ever use is the "New Posts" link. I never click individual forums on the site. The only times I do is when I want to browse the market place. :shrug:

    I've been visiting this site almost everyday for 5 years and I've never used the "New Posts" button until now.

    It's very useful but I'm stuck in my habitual and slightly ritualistic way of browsing the site, which is why the break up of off-topic has thrown me somewhat.

    Damn, I feel like I'm still living in 2001. Why is everything so advanced and easy now?

    I've always known it was there but I take pleasure in just strolling through the site.

    The new OT section however is too fragmented. In the grand scheme of things I couldn't really give a shit, it isn't gonna keep me up at night and in a week I'll get used to it, BUT if I could have it back the old way I would. :p

    Hahahahahaha... Yeah, the split threw me off too, until I scrolled down. There was a lot of stuff to comment on in Off Topic, it was apart of my ritual when daily browsing several sites :(

    RIP Off Topic

    Sorry, but now it's even worse. It takes me more than twice the time to get to a certain thread now than before all those changes.

    Before: Off-Topic -> Thread
    Now: Off-Topic -> Think which section it was in -> Select section -> Thread

    What's the point?
