Holy crap, probobly because you have over 1,000 posts!!! :-) And Wildcard, that sounds fine to just post in programing forum... no need to make a new one. I'll post in that one when I need help! Wink

I suggested a while ago that we have a proper 'Off-Topic' forum where people could discuss whatever they wanted as long as it wasn't qbasic related... so discussion on consoles, gaming in general, life, movies, the latest gizmo, funny pics, whatever...

Anyhow, no one seemed to like it. Perhaps times have changed. Of course, an OT often takes a fair bit more mod work. Some other folks might be appointed mods.

I don't know. I think that megaman was talking about a forum to socialize, or something. But... we have the general section, haven't we?

Addition: If you are talking about real spam posts, just like "look at this joke: www.unmature.com" well, they are just like those chain emails... I don't care if you post them, but having a section full of those would make me use the "mark forums as read" button very often.

Maybe SPAM was a very wrong word for it. But when I saw the general section. I posted a "look at this, it's funny" in there, and I was accused of spamming, and I just didn't get it. I mean, it's a general section, isn't off-topic stuff supposed to go here?

The point of the general forum is for people to post things they others here might find useful/etc not just to "spam" anything that is remotely amusing.

Agreed. General doesn't mean "silly". There are offtopic forums where you can post all those joke sites you find in the internet and strange polls like "Should I dye my hair?" Wink. I say, I don't care if you post such unuseful things, but please don't ask for a section full of that! You can find tons of internet communities where you can post and find such kind of spam.

The point of being selective when posting to this forum is that it is a big forum with lots of activity and the posts take actual space. And if we post more and more unuseful spam, the forum will be getting huge sizes just for nothing.

That's my point Smile
