Off Topic Forum​

Home - Off Topic Forum

Off Topic Forum is a community where you can discuss whatever you want.

offtopicforum.com

A forum where you can talk about anything and everything and whatever you want.

NOTE: vBulletin 6 came out, and I wanted to try it. So, that's what is powering OTF. I've not used vBulletin since 3.8, so it's an experiment by all means.

Join the forum, post, create a blog about anything, write articles about anything, and create social groups about anything.

I did read that you decided to purchase a license for vB6, and I was wondering what you were going to do with it! I can't wait to see what other articles you write and reading other people's blog posts on the site! I've signed up btw!

How is VB these days? It's had a bad reputation, but it could be different now. Do you feel naysayers are judgemental?

So far, I'm liking vBulletin 6. We such a judgmental species and we like holding grudges. It feels good to quit doing that for a while and try to reconnect.

I've added a bunch of categories, boards, and sub-boards for just about every topic out there.

I usually preach against adding too many sections.

However, for a general topics forum, it might be a good idea to do it. You can get a feel of what sections get used the most and the sections that are neglected the most. This can help you restructure to a near-perfect category and board organization based on that user experience.

So, for now, there are all sorts of sections to engage in.

Come check us out - vBulletin is very interesting.

Been messing with the boards more. I added way too many. At first it felt like a good idea until I looked at it haha.

I've never really got into doing a general forum. I'm actually excited about it.

I've added a bunch of new titles for members to get for post quantity.

While vBulletin 6 doesn't have a lot of addons, I've been doing slight theme edits here and there to enhance things like making the online status circle glow and animated.

I've reduced the amount of channels (that's what VB called boards now) to make it more user friendly.

I post a few new topics a day.

Come see us!
