Hi all,
this is general, and I hope it is ok. I would like to take this opportunity to invite some folks over to another PDA forum site. I need mods and suggestions for forums and content. My goal is also to host downloads for ROMS and Kitchens. the site is: cookedpda.com/forums
I also plan on promoting this site and a few others there as well.
thanks for listening, and please stop by.
i just updated it. i think it has quite a diverse group of forums. only one member for now though. it is my hope that some of you all can turn it into another successful site. thanks!
hi there,
kudos to you for creating a site to try and give something back to the community.
my only thought is that xda-developers pretty much has everything you'll ever need rom/kitchen based and a massive community behind it.
also you didnt include a clickable url in your post which is probably why you only have one member
wish you luck with your forum
hi guys - as my inspire comrades, i'd love to offer you guys spotify invites. it's through this cool service i found called klout that measures your influence via social networks. they give you cool perks (ie spotify invites). anyways, here's the link: http://klout.com/perk/Spotify/Spoti...eeb5e4309f4a1e38f2a120afc3953fb10d7a27e7bf964

Let me start this off by saying that I respect and love our mods for all their great work.
However, I have seen more and more in the past month or month.5 that many of the threads in this subforum have been closed. Some because they're no longer relevant for whatever purpose (which is a good thing), but other select threads are closed because they are off topic. The question I pose is why do some off-topic threads have to be closed?
Granted, this is a forum for developers and for phone support, applications, questions, etc, it is also a community. and because it's a community within a community (inspire users), I'd like to be able to have few off-topic conversations without them being closed by the mods. This is also the general subforum and therefore, I think it's appropriate if I want to start a slightly off-topic conversation with my fellow inspire users.
I understand the fact that sometimes off-topic threads can cause clutter, but I think thats most relevant in the case of multiple threads of the same topic.
disclaimer: conan, this post was not really inspired by you asking the other user to use the off-topic forum in the other spotify invite thread, but is a result of various threads i've seen closed recently. also, as i mentioned earlier, i would like to share the spotify invites with my fellow inspire users, not other random people that happen to also be browsing the off-topic forum.
lastly, i'd like to thank all of you amazing people for making my experience with the inspire so freaking awesome. this goes from the devs to the other people like me that respect and love the devs' work to the noobs without who we would be so peaceful and happy without having to tell them to search

I appreciate what your saying about the fact that you'd rather offer these to another inspire user, not just the first random OT user to jump on your thread.
That said, there is an undeniable problem at the moment with clutter on the forums.
While your post is entirely genereous and well intentioned it is not strictly "on topic". I know this may seem petty but if we (the moderation team) are to bring the forums back into line the way they used to be, we need to be consistent in our actions.
You may not have asked for my opinion but I'll offer it anyway..
I would have just picked out a couple of members you'd like to donate these invites to and PM'd them, your two fav devs or someones who's helped you with a problem for example. Perhaps even your friendly forum moderator (just kidding).
I'm not gonna close your thread right now because like I said, I appreciate the intention behind it but let me know when they are claimed so I can close it and prevent it turning into a "Where can I get an invite??" thread...
Cheers.
I know this seems contrary to XDA's recent apparent policy of consolidating the number of forums rather than expanding, but maybe a community/off-topic board for various high-traffic devices would be in order.
I also have Spotify, but no invites, and would highly recommend you take this generous guy up on his offer.

whenever i rant, i like to hear opinions from everyone that i'm ranting about. so thanks for your opinion what do you think about having an inspire off-topic subforum? i feel that since the Q&A section popped up, the general section has been MUCH cleaner, so props for that! maybe this well help too, maybe not. oh well.
and also thanks for the advice about PM'ing people - i'll try that next time.
FYI - there's 1 invite left via the link in the OP

Your the second person to bring this up. Are you guys conspiring against me
Initially I refused, as I've tried it elsewhere and it was a spectacular failure.
I will however, consult the oracle and see what he/she/it says....
@the op, gonna close this now if we are all done. Thanks for the rant

The old thread was closed with no reason given, I suppose they thought we were all out of invites.
I still have a few to dish out, please PM if you'd like one. Also, if you have some to offer, please say so here so others can get in on the goodness!
Old thread was closed because we have millions of same topic threads, so this one is closed too.
SEARCH for the one is open in off topic section
Hello
My name is Taygh (te-y-g). I want to create the future around me, and I have an idea that will get me started. But I have a problem. I am not very good at programming, so I would like to get a team of developers together to help. They would modify Android ICS 4.0. It would be for a desk fitted with a tablet. For details, please contact me at [email protected]. This is a legit thread. Also, please post hardware we could possibly use. Please don't spam this thread. All development would be done via group Skype.
Thank you,
Taygh
PS: Using Pandaboard as motherboard
Moved thread to General. Also, you might just ask people to PM you instead of putting your email out there for anyone to spam you. You don't have to, but just a suggestion.
Please refer to the next post. I messed this one up and cannot delete it.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have a question. Is there anyway to get this thread more noticed (out there)?

I haven't got a clue, and frankly don't care, but don't 'Bump' your own threads like this. It's against the rules of XDA. This is a Mobile Development site, not 'Tech Support' so give it at least 24 hours to see if someone comes up with an idea.
If you actually want paid tech-support so you get quick replies then there are plenty of companies that will be glad to take your money, but no-one on here is paid to give support and we all have lives away from XDA.
