How about some kind of limit on it, like a maximum of 2 posts a day?

2

Will just cause people to spam elsewhere :unsure:

 

[Azure]

It's just a spam thread...

 

[PinkSpider]

Its somewhere to talk.

 

[mattmagoo]

it got outta hand, lets admit it

if we only post actually useful stuff, and not jibberish like scazw did, it basically stops topic floods on the Off Topic forum coz we just randomly bring thing up

Its somewhere to talk.

Trillian & IRC. Forums aren't exactly the best place to just "talk."

 

[PinkSpider]

Its a discussion forum. And I do use MSN and irc when I cba to load it.

 

[Azure]

But it sounds like you want to chat, for which a forum isn't the best place.

 

[PinkSpider]

We chat on msn. I use the Spam thread like my journal atm. And its good for when Im drunk.

ooh! ooh! please come to #gp32 then! I get my ass kicked all the time in the DEV channel because I'm going off-topic, but no one ever talks in #gp32...

 

[Azure]

I'm in #GP32 right now and I've said hellow like 3 times, with 1 response, but that guy didn't say anything else afterward.

 

[PinkSpider]

But that means loading MIRC and connecting to efnet then closing all the windows for #suicide.cs etc and /j #gp32, /j #gp32dev it takes time and I just cba to move my mouse.

Fuckit loads.

Yaay!!! a new spam thread...

 

[bringoutthegimp]

USE MSN. the spam thread was real shitty. the only reason people used it was to boost their post count which is evident in the fact that the 3/4 people that used had like 30 odd posts a day.

 

[Q-Wi-Q]

maybe some people just like social contact, and want to expand that BEYOND the gp32 scene... I mean it's called off-topic for a reason.

if we don't create a community now that is MORE than the mere gp32-related com it is today, we are going to lose all our coders to a better handheld tomorrow (which is already happening), and what will remain will be an empty handheld that will die away...

honestly, I think an attitude like that is chasing people away...
