KDF did the right thing if he doesn't want to read things that don't interest him. I would think just not reading the particular thread would be the right choice but if this makes him more happy then I guess you leave the forum. Why people can't ignore a thread is beyond me. I don't leave a forum just because they have a thread about a product that means nothing to me. I read the other ones.

I agree, an 'Off Topic' forum is a good solution, but I'd be among those who wouldn't read it. I'm a recent owner of the Duet (and additional receivers) and these forums have impressed me with the knowledge and helpfulness of the community. I continue to visit to stay current with new and planned features. I also like that the forums have a tight focus on its primary purpose. However like most forums once the majority of regular users have attained a certain level of knowledge either people visit less or discussions start to drift. An 'Off Topic' section would help to satisfy those who want it and contain such discussions to one area. As stated by Mike, General Discussion is for all things; it's not really an issue right now but if off topic threads become more prevalent then GD should be moved from the top of the User Forums.

If things were getting out of hand, with loads of threads with flame wars, spam and trolling then yeah the mods should mod. But we are talking about 1 lousy thread here. The thing is, while we may disagree (which is healthy) we all spend time on these forums. Most have large post counts and have spent a considerable amount of time talking about our interest and helping each other out. Is the odd thread off topic every now and again really that much of a bad thing? I enjoy a bit of banter with people here, i respect them as people and would not get the chance to talk to them elsewhere. If the mods say it not allowed, then thats fair enough.

Re: [slim] Political BS
but not yours pat? :) i'll just reiterate what i said in the other thread that complains about a single thread: slim should make a forum for topics that have nothing to do with slim, and probably rename general discussion to general discussion about slim, if in fact thats what it is. then again, as we are talking about one thread, (not counting the two complaining about it), slim might do nothing. but imo, they should. it would appease everyone and make expectations clear for the future. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.3b - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54841 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
