Off Topic Forum

[DeadRiser]

It wasn't about the initial earthquake..but was about a new one that, guess what? Could affect FFXIV and SE even more.

Can everyone now please try to stop finding a little hole so you can 'demand' an off topic forum? It WILL give needless work to the moderation staff (which is probably the inital reason why they didn't create one anyways) and, as you can see from this very thread, has minimal community support (IE: two people). Have a nice day, night or whatever time it is currently in your timezone.

And I'm pretty sure you find little holes in someone else's ideas/views... What's the difference

No thank you to an off-topic forum. These are feedback forums, not a place to socialize. I think people forget that sometimes.
Fan forums are better for socializing about things unrelated to FFXIV.

Totally agree with this also:

(Also, it wouldn't make things any easier, as off topic posts have even more chances to devolve into all kinds of crap and therefore would be even harder / require more work to moderate. )

How is a server forum for "feedback"? These forums ARE for socializing.

That's just simply not true. These boards are largely used to socialize. The threads also often devolve into flame wars. It makes more since for the mods to spend their time keeping their thumb down on that than deleting and handing out punishments for off topic posts that aren't hurting anyone.

Hello!

Thank you for the suggestion Xzen! I will be moving this thread to The "Feedback and Suggestions" forum under Site Feedback to make sure it's seen by the right people!

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your ideas with us!

I'm surprised how many people are against "Off Topic." I'm laughing about it, really.

It's like you don't want there to be Off Topic discussions you have to deal with, but there will be anyway, but you want Mods to just delete them rather than move them to a place you don't have to see them, as if not going to "Off Topic" forum was any different than deleting them - aside from the fact that one thing you consciously do and the other the Mods do for you.

It's really quaint.

I don't see the point of an off topic forum when they've already provided an outlet. There's a Blog page you can do post all the off topic chatter you'd like people to see, its even on the Lodestone, with a big fat "Log in" button.
