We all know there is none in these forums.
Sure we don't want to be like a DRLFF, but, like, we don't want to talk about just physics games, we want to talk about other stuff too....

like how you got expelled
or how you e-punched someone in the face.

so vote, yes, or no

this probalbly has been done before

reason: some people think All of us are like a 3rd family (1st being your biological parents, 2nd being school/work assuming you go to one of these places

All I can say is what Matt wants he gets. None of us moderators have a say in what he does to the forum. I seriously doubt this poll will attain results. You could use this to back an email you send to him, if you're dead-set on it, though. Use it to the same purpose as a petition.

Yes! I think we should have an off topic section and send it to Matt. :)

This question has been passed on for generations in this forum. Not that I don't want an off-topic forum, but we've been through this for a long time. If Matt thinks (or at least approves, like Maltor124 said) that there should be an off-topic forum, he'll do it. When I posted about the same thing, people kept bouncing off the walls, saying "It doesn't need an off-topic forum!" or "It seriously needs an off-topic forum!" If there is going to be an off-topic forum, it sure as hell won't be in a while.

It's been rejected, like, 5 times already, though, so I wouldn't count on it. ;)

EDIT: Whoa, that's just about the smartest thing I've said on this website. :D

I would like an off-topic so I could talk to some of the members here about other things.
But lets get one thing straight. This is Matt's forum, he is the owner of this "house." The mods are somewhat like servants. Members (like you and me) are practically guests.
So, here's the question:
How would YOU like it if a bunch of people stormed into your house devoted to physics and said "HEY YOU! MAKE US AN OFF-TOPIC ROOM!" and this went on for months. How would this make you feel?
The answer is:
Not very happy. You'd want to throw all of those unthankful naggers out of your house, wouldn't you?

If Matt wants to make an off-topic room... er... forum it's his choice! We shouldn't be whining and nagging when theres a brilliant forum allready here!

Offtopic: I won't be here till friday, I'm going skiing. Have fun on march break (if you're in canada like me) you guys!

/end transmission.

Can people just stop bringing this up? -.-

I'm going to say it so everyone understands

IF MATT WANTED AN OFF-TOPIC FORUM HE WOULD HAVE MADE AN OFF-TOPIC FORUM! :mad:

But we're not chatting in an O-T forum, so let's just leave it to that ok?

We don't need a freaking off-topic forum. We have the ICQ chat for that. If you really wanted to have a forum for off-topic crap, there are hundreds of sites for that. This is a forum for physics based games not about Brawl, how you kicked someone's ass in school, how you had h4rdc0r3 secks with your lady. Matt made this forum for people to talk about the games he posts in his blog.

If he does however, put a new forum in, I won't care one way or another. As long as it doesn't count towards your post count.

we might as well have "we need an offtopic forum" forum.

seriously, it's not going to happen, get over it

I think Maltor (I'm lazy) or some one from this site willing should make a forum just for us Fun-Motion members to be off-topic. That way people who only want to talk about physics and games wont be bothered with the random spammers and we the spammers have a place to chat about poop.

Well, moderators don't have that power. As I already said, it's Matt's decision. Getting the community to support it will do nothing unless you bring it as a case to him. Otherwise this is all moot, just like every other "We need and Off-Topic Forum" thread is.

I meant a separate forum like a different URL and all.

that might be a solution
in the end it would die and when people said

"I WANT OFFTOPIX" we could say "Go to the dead forum you pleb"

it'd be bitchin

Yeah, any off-site features usually die. It's probably gonna be here or nothing.

Since it's been rejected over half a dozen times, it most certainly won't happen again.
This forum will never change.

I really don't see a need for one, not that I would care if we got one. It's not like were going to spontaneously combust without a off-topic section.

And according to many it seems like Matt doesn't want to put one in so the chances are slim anyway. (Anyone who voted "yes" please think about how hard you are willing to fight for it because it would be a shame to see someone so passionate for a cause to get what they want and find it isn't what they expected)

But I think So.
There's spam in abunch in The PHYSICS GAMES section.
so why not spam here, where it belongs?

An Off-Topic section isn't a Spam section. A Spam section is a Spam section. I thought an Off-Topic section would contain posts not about physics games like posts about non-physics games and topics about things people just want to talk about in general. If this Off-Topic section is just going to be a garbage can for spam I completely disagree with its implementation.

I must say, the poll asks if we absolutely NEED an offtopic. I don't think so. Many people WANT an offtopic, but its not NEEDED.
Am I making sense here?

Off-topic = phail and trust me it wont happen, it isnt politics you can post "off topic noWWZ!!!!" all you want but it wont make a difference Matthew started up this website/forum for a reason and that is to discuss physics games.

I think if people want to talk off topic. They can go to a forum like Face Punch because more people read off topic stuff so they can not have a social life there. I mean come on. FUN MOTION PHYSICS Forums!
Not FUN MOTION RANT ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT HERE Forums!

I sent Matthew a message complaining about stuff, and I included that we could have an off topic thing, with signatures included, and stuff, but I'm sure he's worried about everybody not going to the Physics games section, so I gave him a few (possible) solutions.

I suggest then they make a forum appearing to be off topic, but to actually take you to that link. That would be fine.
