So if it's not related to FFXIV?!

[Agoven]

No need for off topics...go to another forum to chat about that. This is A GAME FORUM!

With that last statement. Everyone let's not make the Moderator close this thread.

It is now voluntarily closed by all members.

Thank you for posting.

So in point again.... if IT'S NOT RELATED DIRECTLY to ffxiv then I can't discuss it in the general discussion forum?

How is that thread related to FFXIV even indirectly?

Talking about "Christmas", which is a seasonal event in XIV, indirectly relates to the game. What the hell is Eid Mubarak? As far as I know this game does not mention the former dictator of Egypt in any shape or form.

I'd quite like an off topic forum tbh. I think a few people may want to talk to the rest of the community they play with about things other than ffxiv.

Oh and it was never a question about religion or religious belief guys! I simply wanted to bring to light the question of how far renoved from the ffxiv world can you discuss before it being un-related and tehrefore blocked in a general discussion forum.

I gave an example of another religious festival, in this case christmas, merely as a comparison.

Make your own community website then...there's lots of gaming portals that allow that and you can make all the off topic forums to your content.

....Guildlaunch...guildportal to name a few.

Why the hell would a Final Fantasy XIV forum need to have a section like that? Go to Gaia Online if you want to just say stuff for the sake of saying it.

Very true and I am a member of a few. But keeping the community in one place and giving them the tools they need/like is what makes it strong. 1000 players in the same place is a far better community than 1000 spread across 6 different forums on 7 different sites.

Erm to talk with people who clearly share an interest with you... in this case ffxiv. XI used to have chat rooms that were great when the maint. was ongoing.

An off topic forum is in the best interest of this site. It keeps general discussion cleaner and makes less work for the mods.

People ARE going to talk about other stuff. Might as well provide them a place to do it rather than locking the threads whenever they appear.
