Title: Alternative to the Off-Topic Forum
Post by: bob3160 on September 20, 2005, 03:06:40 AM: An alternative to the Off-Topic forum for those of you who miss the one that was just closed on this forum.
has been offered and can be reached HERE (http://forum.myvirushelp.com/index.php?board=3.0)
The main Forum can be reached HERE (http://forum.myvirushelp.com)
For all those wondering, it's not my Forum nor am I a moderator at that Forum. :) :)
This will leave the avast! Forum free to deal with avast! related matters.

I would greatly appreciate if this post was made a sticky for a while since I've had many requests as to "what do we do now" that the Off-Topic Forum is closed.

Post by: MikeBCda on September 20, 2005, 04:05:51 AM: Thanks a lot, Bob, I'll certainly take a look next chance I get.

I think I was the one who'd originally suggested creating Off-Topic, and I had in mind a just-hang-out place as well as a place to discuss technical things unrelated to avast. Similar to Wilders' Ten-Forward, basically.

I guess we can only guess whether Off-Topic would have survived if the socializing hadn't turned into social warfare, which I think we'll agree is what killed it.

Post by: Tipton on September 20, 2005, 05:00:54 AM: Thanks for the other site Bob. I guess I should not have posted my responce this morning about Gene. I always knew he did not like the thought of you being a moderator.

That's good news about the second opinion. I hope things work out.

My wife has a scan scheduled for next month, to see how her liver is doing.

No offence intended to anyone.

No. The team need to re-think this. Nothing will be as good as lists of bob's countless topics, sasha's graphics and members giving the opinions on here. :(

Cheers !
