New Forum
well after a long time, this valuable resource that is UNIX.COM has an off topic forum. personally i think it is a step in the right direction. with a forum like this people can talk about anything they want and not worry about sticking to technical stuff. this keep the integrity of the board high, while technical threads go in their respective forums, and off topic things go here, it will keep useless stuff out of the technical forums.
as long as everyone here follows more or less the regular rules here with the exception of staying on topic, there should be no problems. ie no windows bashing, and id rather not see any threads asking which is better, linux or bsd, or bsd or windows, osx or linux etc etc. just cause people use whats right for them.
however political views i guess would be ok. such as comments on microsofts business practices, talking about it in a respectable manner should be fine.
thanks!
