This is seriously getting annoying. It isn't a big "!@#$% you" to the members who apparently devoted themselves to boards like, "Other Discussion". It's more of a "let's try and help those who are fangaming but giving them some input". Also, as wally keeps saying, there's a CHAT ROOM. ALSO there's Community Speak.
Seriously, why does there have to be such a huge shitfit?
Read the first post, Vash said
if you're not here to play those games or develop those games, we really feel you have no purpose here.
That's the "!@#$% you" part.
Point is, there really was no reason to remove Off Topic. Community Speak was usually used for more important type topics, Off topic was usually used for less important things and topics that didn't fit anywhere else. If i didn't download Demo's and look at WIP games before, i'm certainly not gonna do it because Off topic was taken out. It won't change anything.
Also, a chatroom is basically for random !@#$%, not "Off topic" posting, stop trying to make the chatroom for active nutmeg
