If you could pick one thing to make Anandtech OffTopic better (not a forums issue).

Personally my thing would be for people to stop arguing/debating with me. I've always thought that we'd all be a lot happier and get a lot more done if people would agree with me right off the bat instead of me having to slowly walk them to the correct conclusion in matters.

So, what do you think would make ATOT better?

Turn back time? Basically putting ATOT back the way it was when I first joined, before it turned into a huge crap fest.

Guest appearances by Anand to come in and yell REPOST or blast a Lifer for some odd reason.

I like it but it should have some logic built in so that a quote doesn't span about five football fields horizontally (or vertically!).

Ban people who go blatantly off-topic in threads solely to piss people off or get attention. At the same time, let people be offensive as long as they stay on topic.

Also, ban anyone who regularly posts in Politics & News. What a wastezone.

lol.. that's a funny post Skoorbie...

what would make it better?
i've grown to realise the things i've always thought would make it better, most likely wouldn't... so i think it's fine.

oh maybe more aesthetic style options or something would be nice :)

side bar ads would go on the right, not the left so that they are pushed off the screen when the quote button messes everything up.

It's nicer though that crap* is posted there and not in off topic anymore.


*crap = politcal bashing and what not.
