Off-Topic section?

We should get an off-topic section in this forum, so we can share games, play forum mini-games, computers, politics, and all that off-topical stuff.

I agree with that. :slight_smile:

I agree also. This is a great idea.

I hate to be that guy, but…

Why clutter the forum with irrelevant stuff ?
There are countless forums that offer this, so why would we need another ?
I assume that most people are here because of Game Dev Tycoon and whatever Greenheart Games may come up with in the future. If not, they’re in the wrong forum.

I don’t see how an off-topic section/category would contribute anything to Greenheart Games, Game Dev Tycoon or the community in general.

I think its good because if we only talk about the official stuff people might get board of the forums then go somewhere else. But if we have an off topic place which is filled with joke, cats and forum games this will make them stay on the forums and help the community. This is why many forums have an off topic section it gives a place for the forumers to chill out and still be with the community.

What kind of gamers are you people ?
If you’re not discussing the games, you should be playing them :wink:

Its just a fun place to chill with the community that plays the game. You can make friends and talk to them still on the forums. It is a great way to bond the community.

I’m split on this one. For one, I don’t mind off-topic sections, but they always tend to get out of hand and turn into a moderation nightmare (having worked as a moderator on a different forum once, I speak from experience) when people blatantly run past the TOS and say things that start flame wars. Also, it tends to lead to spammers dropping ads and links to spyware, malware, adware, and some other things that are just not appropriate to mention.

On the other hand, they give gamers like us a way to have more fun when we’re taking a break from playing the game, or when we just want to chat about who’s got the best gaming rig. (and on this, I can fairly honestly state I can only be beaten in graphics…)
