On the bright side, it sounded like they got into an argument during their orgy, and nobody was harmed other than some feelings.

That should exclude Off Topic
NO BALER YOU -

Oh. My goodness. That's incredible. I'm looking at Advanced Search and I don't even see how you did that. Thanks!!

I still want to see how many other people want this disaster area wiped clean, though. Maybe Off Topic-heads will do a little self-reflection (optimistic, I know).

I'd like to see Rants and Flames moved from General Community to it's own section at the bottom of the forums. It's a bit unbecoming of the community to have that section so close to the top of the forums, visual speaking.

There are a lot of good people in this community. We just don't always see eye to eye but it's those differences that make this place diverse. Flaming and Ranting is not good for anything other than healthy venting in my opinion.

So I can certainly see why you'd want to not have your eyes tainted with things you find repelling because I do too.
ps. sorry for coming at you with my inital post. had I known the knowledge of excluding I'd of opened with that.

I like off topic. I bought a laptop, an ar15, and got help building a website for my business all because of forum input from other posters.

While a very few on here are just complete 100% trolls, most seem like genuinely decent folks. Even the socialists and transvestites can be learned from.

I’ve definitely gained some perspective from reading things posted here. There are the tryhard diehards but also some real gems out there. Most of us are nerds and as a consequence there are some pretty smart elfs out there on the spectrum or not. Sometimes I get caught up in the trolling but that’s just who I am and this server made me that way lol

I don't go here. I use the New Posts button. Unfortunately, it is sullied with posts from Off Topic. People should be able to use the New Posts button instead of manually navigating to specific subforums. Perhaps the New Posts function can be adjusted to exclude Off Topic.

I've already decided to click Green...Blue...R&F. It's too bad. I suspect poll results will show many people agree.

Furthermore, this post isn't even a complaint. It's a criticism of the most vocal participants in this subforum. My point isn't "I don't want to read Off Topic." My point is "Off Topic might as well not even exist because people aren't learning anything true or real." Off Topic is basically conspiracy theory roundup.
So what do we do if we want to talk about anything outside of EQ? New PC setup suggestions, people who want advice on gaming related things but not specifically EQ? etc. Sometimes having a similar mindset as other EQ players helps informed posts versus asking the same question elsewhere.

Personally I don't find time to frequent 10 different sets of forums asking relevant questions in relevant places. Off topic here is a good "catch all" for anything that doesn't fit elsewhere.

If you want anything along the lines of politics, religion, whatever else banned here fully... petition away. Or perhaps easier, change the way you view the forums, don't go for new posts - click down the subforums you like in the order you want to view them. I do.

Is this handsome "among my people" or a global value?

I think Off-topic serves a useful role, particularly if you haven't experienced the phenomena, is that people will hold the most idiotic point of view ever and even after you completely destroy them with facts and logic they get right into your face and tell you to go fuck yourself.

I know people like that in real life and I call them friends. We go drinking. Sometime we fuck each other's wives but that's a different story.
