damonrpayne Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 The Klipsch forums have quickly become my favorite online community. Often things get off on wild tangents that have nothing to do with audio. Could we perhaps have an off-topic forum to discuss the news, weather, golf strategies etc?

m00n Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Dude... You're barking up the wrong tree. It's been asked for over and over with no such luck. To some degree I don't blame Klipsch... This general audio forum gets crazy enough. Can you imagine what a free for all forum would end up like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dome Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 As the administrator of another fairly high traffic bulletin board, I can most definatly understand the administrators/moderators ignoring a request like this. Boards like this take up a lot of disk space and a lot of bandwidth. Both of which cost a lot of money. It is hard to justify this cost for a 'free for all' type forum. It is also hard to moderate the content on such a forum. It is inevitable that a board like this with such a tight community will want a place to talk about other interests in life besides that of which the board was intented. An alternative that has worked well for many of the members of my forum was creating an IRC (internet relay chat) channel that they could meet in and talk about off topic whatever. Might be something to look into as I will put down money that an 'Off Topic' forum will never be created. Similar to my board, the 'General Discussion' section is the closest the board will ever come to an 'off-topic' section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet once again it has been suggested with no response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I meant something set up independantly by members of the forum.... not Klipsch. If that is what you mean too, I am surprised there were no other takers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
