am i the only one that is annoyed by the fact that probably 95% of all of the top posted threads are off topic?....i come to anandtech for technical updates, information, and suggestions....anyone else agree?...if you go to the today section of the forums almost all of the most popular threads are ATOT and are completely unrelated to technology....

not to thead bash or anything but this will prolly get locked because it should be posted in forum issues and not GH.

i thought about posting it there.....but i wanted to see what the real users think....does anybody really ever look in forum issues? or are moderators the only ones who care?....i don't wanna post the thread in OT b/c of obvious reasons(flames)

Darn it, I was just about to say that I thought this belonged in OT ;)

I do post in off topic...however, I also post in the other forums, and help wherever I can. OT isn't taking over the forums I don't think, but it is a large part of them. The technical stuff will always be there though.

Outside of a few threads in GH, 90% of the hardware discussions are people asking the same question asked 5,000 times before "What is the best video card?" or looking for technical support "Evaluate my new system!!" Its no surprise a lot of the real discussion happens in OT...

EDIT: not that helping people with their technical problems is a bad thing, but it gets boring after a while...
