I don't really get it... If you don't like OTS don't go there. Where's the problem?

I said it once, I'll say it again. There is no way to ignore OTS without ignoring all of OT. Because of

the vicinity,
the sheer amount of OTS stuff,
and the spillover.

The problem occurs when threads that are not Amiga related, e.g. requests for DOS apps, etc. get moved to the OT area, and users find themselves compelled to visit OT to resume their discussion.

Let me clear something up.

OTS is not "Off Topic Section"

OTS is "Off Topic Stupidity"

if the spillover is as severe as eLowar wants to bring it (which I haven't seen myself), then that is something that seriously must be dealt with. OT is for fun, clean and/or useful OT related material and should not be abused for anything OTS related. I hope any OTS retard can agree with that.

Well if that's the case, then whether the spillover is or isn't severe right now, nobody should have problems with OT getting a nice set of rules, being put back into regular EAB (regular Today's posts, regular search), and OTS staying where it is (or being made more private, whichever is deemed the more preferable choice).

As far as I'm concerned that's sufficient. However it will not solve the GM's problems. They are not part of my (our) agenda at all, they brought up their unhappiness about the state of affairs themselves. I personally think they should be considered, but I guess that's a matter of opinion.

To go a step deeper into troubled waters (you gotta bear to be covered with other's sh*t, sometimes), I'll say that :

Someone shouldn't have started the rumor that OT/OTS members were being homophobic, I see that as a powerful retard bomb (no pun intended) : That someone posted stuff like "you hate me because I am gay so bye bye" and similar trite. Not too sure about the consequence of this, but that would be somehow scary if if it was interpreted as "first degree", as an offense from the people who expressed their discontent with that someone's posts. Of course, nobody in OT/OTS is the least homophobic, or racist

. In regard, Keropi's one liners were lillies of the valley.

Since the attention is now drawn to making modifications in OT/OTS (which my somehow pessimistic nature indicates me not much will happen anyway), I myself would appreciate if all the potato pictures could be removed by their respective posters. That would be a sign of good will, INMHO.

Name some posts you want to remove them from and I will.

T_hairy_bootson · 28 August 2009, 15:58

Same here, just let me know which ones and they are gone.
