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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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

Im curious to know what those requirements are because I would like to see one as well.

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.

Are you saying your a know-it-all?
because it sure sounds like it.
MAYBE, they don't know.
You can decide not to help them, but if i know the solution, i will.
Put yourself in their place.
Yeah I agree that it can get annoying, but this thread isnt going to help. These quirks have been around since the dawn of the internet, and they arent going anywhere soon. The best thing you can do is be polite, tell them in a polite way where their question would get more answers, and help them if you can. They are much more likely to listen if you're friendly and helpful.
Ok ok so i had a moment....
Yea rider i am a know it all,you didnt know that?

Maybe you and the OP should start your own forum for totally excellent and perfect people like yourselves. You can call it Exclusive Wanna Be Developers.
This thread is worse than any noob posting in the wrong place. They do it out of ignorance. You do it out of spite. This is a community of sharing and trading. I myself find great satisfaction in helping others. Noobs posting in the wrong place is proof enough that they need someone's help.

we dont need an off topic within the epic section. we need a cage.
How many moderators do we have for the epic section? Is it just a had full of moderators for all areas of xda? Just seems like moderators are popping out of nowhere? Funny thing is haven't even heard of such people and posts are being closed left and right.

How about a Epic chit chat forum so they can throw all the threads in there....like this one.. I do not like seeing them. I want to see Epic threads.
All the vote for me...go click this..charity messages need to go. Everyone has issues whether it be physical, financial or whatever, nobodys life is perfect. If everyone decided to start a thread about their relatives sickness or some bill they got hit with this place would be 10 times the mess that it is now.
I am fine with the charity stuff in your signatures as they can be shut off.
I vote for immediate deletion of any threads that don't fall under the category named in the title of the forum - so if it isn't Epic related, it should be in another section. If it isn't smart phone related, it belongs on a completely different website.
As far as social topics, XDA has no need to compete with facebook/google+/etc...

This thread could be deleted too.
Doesn't bother me, would just like a reason for the first one... I tried to contribute and be as helpful as possible on xda the whole time I was here, but I think my time is done here... Maybe it's just the Atrix section...
Questions go in Q&A.

Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Making a public post about it where probably 99% of the people reading it have no idea what thread you started, or what was deleted. Send a PM to a moderator, or check your PM inbox, unless of course you want to start an arbitrary thread just for the sake of *****ing.
if your thread was deleted then it probably didnt contribute anything useful or you posted it in the wrong section. threatening to not use the forums anymore is just as useless and isnt going to hurt anyone but yourself since this forum is free for everyone. like others suggested pm one of the mods responsible for the atrix forums and im sure there is a good reason why your thread was deleted, they dont just go around deleting random threads.

Yep. "It is here or it isn't"..... but then if Dev's just said screw it and left us high and dry with stock ROM's, he'd be *****ing about Blur, too. There's a HUGE difference between worship and appreciation. And also a big difference between worship/appreciation, and whatever the hell category he falls under.

I've been running the rom for the last 24+ hours. I'm really impressed with how stable it has been. It has some issues mainly dealing with the gallary/camera and setting photos as things etc. but still, for it's alpha stage it's not bad.
I applied the car-o-dope settings and it seemed to calm it down a bit also. These roms should get real fun here soon!

Agreed and the battery life is outstanding. The gallery seems to settle down after a while, but I've been using Quickpic as a picture gallery and makes setting wallpaper and cropping much easier...it works well with ICS and I've gotten no fc's using it. Its free in the market and is a great alternative to stock gallery

You don't have to be a twitter fan, it takes 2 seconds to create an account and search who you want to follow, and check it periodically...keep it as an app on your phone so you don't have to keep signing in all the time. I recommend following @kushdeck as well because he posts test builds not available on XDA also, actually he just posted his alpha 4 build with working camera a little bit ago...

Except noobs flash ROMs and ask repetitive questions all of the time.. Why should we care if someone foolishly flashes a ROM they know nothing about? In any of the other threads, users ask questions which are 9 times out of 10 answered by other users, rather than the devs themselves.

So we couldn't have a thread with a link in it in the development section because the OP wasn't qualified to answer questions, so you open a thread that serves the same exact purpose WITHOUT a link to the ROM?

You call him an A-hole for posting a thread in hopes of clearing clutter from other threads, and I'M the troll?
The thread was perfectly at home there. It is a ROM in active development made by a dev who no longer posts here; but he has no problem with his work being posted alongside proper credit. The OP posted it to give room for development conversation.
There are multiple threads set up like this.. the CM threads, for example. After being posted, the poster usually never comes back and all questions and concerns are answered by users like us.
Posting that thread in the development section gave room for people who create mods to share their work, as well as to discuss different ideas regarding the fixing of certain bugs.
