Thanks Paul for your kind words, it is really much easier to help others when you see such a nice words and when you see that you're actually doing something good and causy. If our advices helps at least one person per day, for me it means we already succeeded. That's the way I think...
Yes, we had so much fun in that off-topic forum once... there were some problems, and Alwil guys decided to shut it down. I trust in their decision, and I believe it was for our own good. Yes, I am sad too, like many others, because we really started to feel like one wonderful family. This started to smell (in a positive way) just like our own home. Unfortunatelly some individuals couldn't get along with everybody, so sparks (and later flames) started to fly.
The good thing is, there is still hope... you know how I know ? Simply, because off-topic is closed but it's still there... see it ? I see it... If they wanted to get rid of it once for ever, they would easily completely erase whole off-topic forum... if nothing else, to save some server space
This way, they left it on-hold, and I strongly believe they will re-open it eventually... sooner or latter. They also couldn't live without our stupid, funny, happy, sad, serious, childish and what not (but friendly) posts and attachments... Yes, all kind of posts, and that's what used to make that forum natural and so good. Same situation we can see in our real life as well. Life shouldn't be too serious, and when it becomes that way, we all need some pressure vent. I hope you understand my English, hehe...
