So, most other phones have a q&a section, so why dont we? That would probably keep people from posting questions in development. Thanks!

There is. It is stickied in the epic4g development section.

But a Q & A thread in the General section isn't a bad idea - some questions have absolutely nothing to do with development, and everything to do with the already-developed.
And some questions don't need an entire thread, just one post to ask and one post to answer. Topics worthy of a full guide should then be the only questions with dedicated threads (and the OP can update the first post as new information comes in, compiling it all in one easy to find place)

Also if you have a separate section for Q/A, you can differentiate between different topics, instead of searching through the Q/A topic on the Dev section. Not to sound lazy, but it would be easier to search via topics in a specified Q/A section.
The hero has a q&a section, and it made things a lot easier to ask questions because no one was on your ass for being curious about something.

+1000000000000000 on this!
I have seen countless amounts of topics that are always moved because of confusion, or get bagged on for asking something dumb.
With a Q&A section, people would be free of asking a question, and with all the questions in one place, it may be easier to find the topic you're looking for.
Thank my post if you want a seperate q&a section like the nexus s, evo, captivate, hero, etc. has!

Ok, I got a pm from an admin and he said that he can't control if the Epic gets a q&a and that there are requirements to get one. Sorry guys
Sent from my Epic that craves frozen yogurt
Im curious to know what those requirements are because I would like to see one as well.

Im willing to help get a q&a section if I can. All I need are some detailed instructions telling me what I have to do.

What are the requirements? I don't understand why they couldn't just add one.
I've been curious about this absence for a while, but never said anything. Thanks for bringing it up.

How is it a scapegoat? No one cares enough for someone to be blamed or there to be fall out.
Please just add a Q&A board. It would definitely cut down on the stupid froyo topics and the like.

6 months ago we were finally graced with a Q&A forum. But why the **** is "general" littered with [Q] threads? A total of 8 Q threads were started today in general. Congrats to the douchebags for creating more work for our mod with your misplaced threads and complete disregard for helping with keeping our forum organized. We should stop answering ALL questions that get posted in general so they get buried and forgotten about.
good day.

What's wrong with his language?
Instant satisfaction and disregard for the rules are the new opiate of the people.
God is dead. Long live mod-less XDA.
He wouldn't be our beloved ray of sunshine chopper if he edited for language. And to answer your question chopper, it's because too many people are basically ignorant and have no common sense or reading comprehension. How many people posted absolute gibberish and ZOMG I CAN'T WAIT posts in jt's CM7 thread despite the fact he asked on numerous occasions not to post crap like that in the thread?
RIF people - Reading Is Fundamental (emphasis on the mental part for all you window lickers)
chopper salute - Good day!
This here should be stickied and the thread should be remade 15 different times to take up the whole page, that way no one will miss this.

I respect the devs wishes and will no longer answer questions in the general section...my apologies for contributing to the problem!
I agree, we have our personal way to explain our moods and ideas, but this is a forum. There are rules, ( the forum rules, the laws, the common sense....).
I agree, I we need to clean BOTH: crap with polite language AND good ideas with rude language. This will be done not only because of the rules, also to have a nice place were to discuss.
No warning, no infraction now, just edited the post

i've tried to help some folks with questions in the general section as well, mostly to try to keep the smarter people from having to answer redundant questions that can be found in the stickies...and stop them from possibly posting in the dev section!...a guy can dream right?! But I guess in doing so I have also helped feed the monster that has mashed the general, and q and a section into this mess...I too will no longer answer any questions not posted in the q and a section.

Slightly afraid to post anything containing a question mark in this thread, but I'll take my lumps if I have to. I just created a thread in General with the intent of starting a discussion / getting some opinions regarding a question I've been mulling over. I specifically decided against posting in Q&A since I was not seeking a specific "answer," so to speak. Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

My rant was regarding "fascinate general forum". But where you did put your thread (xda/general) and the type of discussion you hope to have will achieve the most traffic and not be buried in a device specific forum.
good day.
@kidserious stop trying so hard... good quality trollings will come naturally, errr eventually at some point for you....
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 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.

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.

No this has to stop. Stop creating threads w/o thinking and going "Ok then, close it"..Mods are VERY busy people, not people who run around closing threads just because you hastily opened a new one for a useless topic or posted in the wrong section.
