Poll: Should AnandTech get rid of the Off Topic forum?

[Deleted member 4644]

No, for all of the reasons previously posted. I used to check Hard Forums and Sharky Extreme daily. Now, I never go there. Why? Mainly because they changed for forums.

If the mods think ATOT looks bad, they should check this out:

It they get rid of it, some of the idiots will spill over into other legit areas.

P&N was created as a haven.

S/W is bad enough with all the games (hint, hint)

Easier if you can corral them into one area and place a cyclone fence around them.

To much work chasing them all over the place.

Also, need some entertainment once in a while.

 

[Leper Messiah]

hell no. Don't you guys realize this is the only interaction that 1000's of people get with the outside world?!

Does this have anything to do with that mod who went mad (insane) with power?

Probably not but I've noticed that since he did the quality of threads in OT has improved significantly!

I beleve for a majority of us, after we stop being pimple poppers we lose interest in computers. I know I outgrew my geekness at about 16, and the only reason I still come here is to ask the occasional Tech Support question, and to browse ATOT.

ATOT would lose alot of advertising if say, half the amount of people came.

QFT

Duh CheapArse!

I know, but I thought I would point it out for the 228 people who want it gone.

I think if OT was gone, I would only visit AT once a day.

Hey, why not?

Also if OT did get shut down, I'd be forced to change my home page to somthing else & never visit Anandtech again!
