Ok guys/gals here it goes, Hopefully, this can become a sticky
Im gonna explain why I have decided to create this thread, and then I'm gonna explain what this thread will be all about.
First, why did I create this thread? I have noticed lately alot of members who like to get a little chatty in certain threads...whether its in the general section, dev section or themes & apps. Sometimes we can get a little carried away with our talking and it usually ends up with another member(s) telling these 2,3 sometimes 4 people to stay on topic and stop flooding the thread..Rightfully so. Sometimes, it also goes as far as a mod having to come into the thread, spend time cleaning it up, and then hand out bans, warnings, etc etc...rightfully so.
So, whats this thread all about? It's simple...THERE ARE NO TOPICS! we as XDA members sometimes like to talk..period! Within this thread we can talk about whatever we want...your fav rom, your fav theme, your fav theme with fav rom, other phones, cars, tv's, dslr camera, your job, where you live, post pictures of random cool things..etc etc.
The great thing about this is there will be NO going off topic, no warnings about going off topic, no being sent on vacation etc etc. This DOES NOT mean you now have the right to disrespect other members. This simply means you are now free to talk about whatever it is you want. Just as if we were all sitting around a camp fire with a beer in each hand...good ol' conversation!
The only thing I can ask of this is remember every member will and has there own opinion about anything that may get mentioned in this thread...PLEASE respect that! Don't be rude to other members, don't start fighting. This thread is our chance to finally go "off topic" without any harm.
This thread can be fun...I noticed alot of people who like to talk...so lets do this.
ps. Just because I created this thread does not mean in any way that I am gonna run it or be in control...oh helll no lol. This thread is for all of us to run and have fun. I suspect we are all mature enough to keep this thread fun, clean, stupid (you know how you get stupid sometimes, but it's funny lol) funny, and also help other people out with anything that gets talked about.
So, what do you guys say? Lets do this or what?
Now, im off for the night/early morning...my little girl will not go to sleep no matter what I do. It's been playtime for her for the last 17 hours or so...she is like that dang energizer bunny....I seriously don't get it...she needs sleep! lol
i didnt even read though ur 1st line. all i need is 2.3.3
this thread will be closed.
Nice! Free thread!

please...STAY ON TOPIC
sorry but couldn´t resist
Edit: ...and this thread should call OFFTOPIC TOPIC
So which do you think will come first? 2.3.3 for X10 or Diablo 3 beta . I really think it's a close race
a place to really chat sounds nice
Well we already have an off-topic sub-forum but I like the idea to have one like this here in our X10 sub-forum, Not sure if mods will let it but good idea

Phones that have no place having a forum in here have them, but the Atrix 2 doesn't? why? it's the successor of a great phone. Even if it's not the best phone ever, it still deserves a forum.
The question you should be asking is "why is this thread here? Why am I double posting into different sections of a forum including the dev forum? Why am I not using this thread?"
Because I've already used that thread, and we still don't have forums.
The "Occupy Atrix" approach isn't going to help you! Give XDA a chance. The phone just came out, has a relatively small following at the moment, and there are many phones which could use their own forum. Comments like "Phones that have no place having a forum in here have them" will get you nowhere!

I've never heard of the admins putting a forum up by force so you might want to rethink your strategy. I want the forum just as bad as you do but apparently its gonna take some time........and alot more votes!

I don't mind Atrix 2 threads in the Atrix forums, but I do NOT like the whining. If you have not voted, go do it. If you have then please have some courtesy and STFU about it.
I rarely do meta commentary, but enough already.

I know the Atrix 2 was just recently released but they have forums for devices that aren't even being sold yet. They have a forum for the Sony tablet that has a total of 3 bs threads in the dev section. To me it's xda being biased towards a phone that's only being sold in the states. That's only my opinion of course, but it's been long enough. I honestly hope that requests keep coming.

XDA makes threads based on PERCEIVED popularity. The Toshiba Thrive did not have a forum for a while after release. (Along with others)
Get off your discrimination crap and learn to:
A) use another site
B) use the atrix forum with a [atrix 2] tag
C) vote and wait.
I'm not trying to be rude but these threads are annoying and serve no purpose but to make Atrix 1 users wish you would just leave our boards. If you want to discuss your phone here that's cool. If you just want to annoy people please do so elsewhere.

it's "Because I've already used that thread, and we still don't have forums."
Lets just stop feeding this thread and just simply report it - along with any other ones that pop up. This is the ATRIX 1 Forum. Not the ATRIX 2 Forum, so all those with the A2 - have a little respect and stop cluttering OUR Forum.
Oh lord. Guys, just stop whining, all of you. The A2 is only gonna get a forum if it gets enough votes, simple as that. So figure out a way to generate the necessary votes and make it happen. As for the "this is the Atrix forum, not Atrix 2", c'mon guys, its still an Atrix. I understand ur tired of the whining, I get it, but u know you guys would be bitter if you were in our shoes. But either way, whining is never a good look.

So you think starting ANOTHER one will help....
Do not start another thread on this subject. The admin are aware of which forums people want, as long as you post in the correct thread, as linked above.
I think its dumb you guys locked the ics thread. Regardless if it was drews actual post or not the whole point of android is do what you want and ics and a port and thread and comments and rants and what not is the whole point of forums like this. Hello nexus s development has not one thing on it about ics. That should seem odd. Maybe I need to fire up my nexus one. How can we progress if u take away the online progress. I understand the guy has his own site and what not but that was are only insight into ics on xda. And we use the only phone that's going to get it first . Stop being online nerds. And let people complain there going to do it anyways. And then its too complicated they way you want it. Every post is not going to to as nice a professional as a cm thread. Let people talk that's how you come to understand not every body is a phone guru. You need conversation as well as knowledge. I'm just sayin. Now when is beta 10 coming who knows but I bet the guy with the random twitter post knows more than I do but we can't share that info now. You guys are missing the whole point. Just sayin. And to anyone who is personally offended sorry excuse the marijuana and red stripe. Helllllllllo laddddddy lol

Stop being logical - let this guy fire up his Nexus One again and remove some of the nonsense drivel from these forums.

Help to XDA Dev " task650 " whose FIVE YEARS OLD DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED with CANCER
Here's is his (task650's) announcement :
task650 said:
I've made announcements as to why there hasn't been any updates lately in all of my threads bro. I haven't had the time due to my 5 year old daughter being diagnosed with cancer. We've recently started her treatments. There will be updates coming sometime soon. Every time I think I get a chance I end up having to deal with more important issues lately.
Click to expand...

The reason of this post is to raise the awareness among the XDA users about the "task650" situation . I am asking YOU an XDA user or visitor to donate as much money as you can to the "task650. "
His baby girl is diagnosed with cancer and I want YOU to help her to fight this uneasy battle! The medical treatments for her sickness are very expensive and by donating even ONE dollar, YOU will help this five years old girl to win over the cancer! I am not writing this on behalf of "task650, " it is my personal initiative! Being as a member of XDA forums and Android community in general, I feel that it is my responsibility to help the people who are in need as never before.
Here is the link for donations:
Paypal donation email: [email protected]
To "task650": brother, your daughter will get better, especially when there are so many people who are praying for her! Please forgive me for my personal initiative if I offended you by any means!
*friendly bump*
We're all family here in XDA. I'll make sure to donate some $$$ once I'm off of work

I begged The_Scotsman for an Off-Topic subforum for the Epic but was told no other device has that and they were not going to start a precedent here. There is one general off-topic thread for Android and that's it. So we are stuck with off-topic posts in General. Shouldn't prevent people from helping out though.

It takes requests to head moderators to have a new forum made. There is a main off-topic forum here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=261
But I don't think you will get the exposure this needs. It is more troublesome when 10 people make new threads on "How to stop OTA notifications" rather than threads like this but that doesn't seem to irritate the same people as a single thread like this does.
Thanks for informing us of this terrible situation. Hopefully XDA as a whole can have a bigger impact on this little girl and her family, than we will ever know!
sent the few dollars i had left on my paypal balance. Hope it helps.

Don't post them in the first place is the easy answer. Call me crazy but when I come to the Epic General section I expect to read about general epic topics not some vote for me threads, help me with my family issues I created, or donate to me, etc. All the nonsense just drives folks away.
I am sorry, but all I see in this thread is a lot of heartless, selfish assholes.
The subject of the thread CLEARLY indicated that it is not related to your device, so guess what... DON'T OPEN IT. Real simple. Instead you come in here to *****.
I wish the best to task650 and his family.

No kidding! I understand getting frustrated by an off topic post from time to time, but when it is something like this, deal with it. XDA is supposed to be a community. I don't know about you, but in my "communities" we help others when we can. Like the Milkman said, the title was very clear. If the topic is of no interest to you, keep it moving.
Oh don't mind Digiblur, he punches homeless people in the face for asking him for food. The nerve of them interrupting him while he is walking. That is not what he started out walking for.
What the heck is wrong with you people! I bet if it was your son/daughter you'd have NO PROBLEM with this thread being here! Give the dude a break alright he is trying to help this guy, who can clearly use if nothing else some support.... people like y'all is why this country is going down the toilet and it makes me sick... but keep posting its cool... alls your doing is keeping it near the top of the first page, and for that, thanks!

I get where this guy comes from, he has a point. Then again, just like with EVERY other friggin post that the resident forum police go into to talk their crap... if you don't like it, don't fking click it! Don't read it! Most of all, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all!
Its not hard.
Man That sucks if I had a job I would donate. But for the guy who thinks there needs to be a different spot for this thread then contact the admin of the forum and ask for an entire Subforum for Charities.

Hey guys, recently moved to this phone from the HOX+. As I've researched before, the only negative I can see is the burnt out pixel that is very very tiny in the left hand corner of my screen. It doesn't bother me. I had to go through 3 devices to finally get one that didn't bug me so much, but hey, what are you gonna do, right? I'm an assistant manager here at RadioShack in town and I've seen on the two I've sold that they both had the same problem. Oh well, I say it's still an awesome phone. I have no rooted or unlocked the phone because I feel there is no need yet. The stock ROM is already fantastic and battery power is amazing, too. Just wanted to post this and ask what kind of apps you all are running and get some suggestions on how to make this device EVEN better. Thanks!

Welcome, had mine for a couple days. It is perfect. By far the best phone I have ever had. Even my iphone loving manager said that she is considering moving to this phone. She said it is beautiful. Re the apps, I think I saw a post in the themes section that had a list of the best apps. Give it a look.

This is a forum. A place for discussion. Why close a thread that's discussing things out?
People who always think they know everything and refer every thread he posts to "use the search button" & "google knows it" would kill xda itself due to reducing the pageviews/lesser income in ads.

I know right? I see one guy ask a simple question and 20 guys jump on his thread trying to explain (in very lengthy replies) how its a waste of bandwidth to ask the same questions over and over again and to learn to use the search button..
So we get a thread with 22 people , the OP, 20 idiots raging and 1 guy answering the OP's question.
Well anyways, I just simply wanted to ask about some cool stuff for the One. Seriously, amazing phone. So can anyone give me some tips or anything that works good with the phone? Anything in general? Instead of arguing with so called geniuses (when in all reality, it's just a phone) all day who wanna close the forum because it somehow doesn't meet their "standards". Thanks guys! Just really wanted to know more about the phone!
