    Default [Poll] Rearrangement of offtopic

    Currently the off topic has subjects that are quite general (cars etc etc). Stuff that we do not really care about and are just there to boost post count. Even to the extent that they may be there just to be there. A useless forum that exists only because other forums have them as well.

    What I want to do is to dissolve them into general discussion and instead put up new forums that are more interesting "offtopic"

    Stuff like...

    Employment - Stuff about graduate programs, resume refining etc etc

    Eduction - University discussion. Which is better. Study habits.

    Bargains - Cheap deals on the internet. How to build a awesome computer at cheapest prices.

    (Feel free to suggest more)

    I do retain the power to ban you even though i am retired. PM me at your own peril.

    Yeah, that's a good idea, but I think that while cars and mobile phones subforums are really unnecessary and should be dissolved I think that other subforums (Computers, Movies and TV, Music and Games) should be kept (only I believe that Video Games and Forum Games should have separate subforums because it's a bit of a mess the way it currently is) and new useful and interesting subforums could be added alongside Computers, Movies and TV, Music, Video Games and Forum Games, because honestly while everyone can talk about those subjects, stuff like employment, education and bargains can only be discussed by the small amount of people that leave in the same area and a large number of TI users isn't American...

    Dave, this is an awesome idea! More 'interesting' offtopic + TI v2, this community is just getting better and better

    Well i would like to recall one of the suggestions which were in the suggestions section that there should be section named "Internet" as in Computers section we cannot talk about like Sites .. So this section would be really awesome as in this section people can talk about the internet freely .. the section for computers is bound to software and hardware to if there can be section of Internet i would really be happy :)

    Being new, it actually took a while for me to get used to where/how the non-torrent/tracker forums are setup.

    I'd Rename the Off-Topic section to General Discussion.
    Put Games, Films, Music, Technology, Sport (scrap Cars and Phones) onto the level where Tiddle Taddle is currently at.
    Add new: Politics, Education and one called Off-Topic where the stuff that doesn't fit into the others goes.

    Then migrate the topics from the current General into the above General subforums which would be visible in a category on the top level forum navigation.

    Beautiful idea, i absolutely agree with everyone this place is getting better minute by minute. I love the new off-topic stuff like the education and employment as i am in my final year and its interesting to have those sections.

    "When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast to a scientific and technological abundance. We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the Earth as brothers and sisters." - Martin Luther King

    In the name of the best within me, I radiate a light by which others may see their own way in dark streets of life while I pursue my quest for excellence with an urge to serve others at whatever cost as I rise to the occasion, staying true to my ideals, beliefs and commitments and as the heroes of all time have guided me by example, so shall I guide you with my strength and dedication to persevere and endure all responsibilities on this trail of bliss and perfection-the path of The Exalted.

    I would be sad to see the movie/music/games disappear, maybe merge the three into: Entertainment

    Then I support the rest of the idea.

    Need help? PM me and I'll find you the answer.

    ^^ I agree - I'd like to see an Entertainment section made, so that those three topics would not be left for dead.

    I also agree with the Entertainment section being made.
    However as one of the other posters wrote Employment, Educations and Bargains would be highly region specific. It might be difficult for users to easily find threads relevant to them.
    Perhaps sections for different regions could be an answer.
