[Q] XDA or FACEBOOK? - Off-topic

which site would you rather use, XDA or Facebook?

this is second thread in the same day i bet you like XDA more than facebook
in topic : if you put in the poll ( Both ) i'll vote
but facebook got chick(s) but XDA no

lol, the thread your on about was posted yesterday dude (time differance maybe?? 4am here now)
it depends what mood im in whether i create threads or not but after tomorrow i wont have interwebs for a whole week :O
so im posting my threads now for when i return..
anyway, your right i hate facebook dude, defo prefer xda and i was wondering how many people prefer xda over facebook, or visa-versa..
i cant change the poll without a mod to do it for me, but id rather see what people pick because it is a tough decision..
btw, xda does have chicks, but very rare!!! (i think ive seen 2)
(personally i think facebook is for stalkers and trolls.. and xda is for slackers and nerds but shhhh haha)
thanks
Rn

I spend most my time here, facebook gets old fast, but google + will be fun for a while

wasnt being the first to vote on my own thread
cheers dude, XDA winning by a strong 3 votes! lol

FB for checking up on family. XDA for fun. Guess what I prefer?
Edit
Hell I'm on a midnight bike ride and look what I'm doing. Drinking monster and surfing xda on my nook at a closed Starbucks.

so you only have 7 posts eh. so a recently active member who's very first act of contribution is to ask for donations. im glad xda has become a donation drive.
on another note. congrats about your baby. all the best!
Yea I know how it looks... and thank you... I've been a member for a little while but most of the time im on here I'm looking for a solution to a Rom I flashed that's not working correctly or just trying to learn in general....

Congratulations
I've only gotten 1 donation and I've been very active for several years now and build my own roms on various devices.
maybe instead of Roms I should be making babies! Sounds fun to me.
I already have 2 kids...can you send me some money?
Congratulations on having to deal with the worst possible consequence of sex, I hope it was worth it!
Also you're a despicable person for asking for donations.

Yet you asked? Imagine when your child is grown up, and someone tells that you did this very thread today to your then grown child. Do you know how that child must feel?
The first thing his/her father thought of when his/her father had him/her was to come on XDA and beg for donations?
P.S. I apologize, but I don't sugarcoat my posts.

It’s that time of the year again, when you are home alone for your birthday. Well, do not worry because your Windows Phone has prepared a cake for you to blow out the candles when the time comes, because that is just how much it loves you and how much you should love it. To make it work, you simply need to blow into your device’s microphone and the candles go out when you apply enough air.

Only tried it just as I logged on, and your thread was the first thing I (incorrectly) read. It's off now already I like how unique this place looks, and not too bright (harsh on the eyes).
Defenitly, plus the new theme makes everything bigger!
I had to chuckle to myself when i saw that post on the portal, surley not everyone is alone who has a winmo phone?!?!
New theme does make everything to big - I don't like it so much Yay for yellow and brown!

I think more sad is to see the amount of useless threads you create in off topic
You must remember that we are a more than 2 mill community and for some that app could be of liking (not for me).
So we won´t find all the time things we like but hey we are millions here!
I was just saying, it seems like a sad app for lonely people... But anyway, can someone (orb) make a certain thread (national sea monkey day) go on the Portal as an example of what not to put? (Or maybe an example of excellence in the postery category, a little compliment wouldn't hurt )
Ohh I see!
Lol, I´ll see what I can do

This thread is for all those people who end up sat at their computer, drunk, and fighting the urge to flame (successfully, I hope).
I'm drunk, and about to go out and do a proper job of it, but I'll probably be back later when I'm slurring my typing and wanting to stay away from questions like "how do turn my phone on?"
Be drunk. Post rubbish.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal labotomy.
finishing a bottle of vodka. want to go to bed but the boy wants some new movies & stuff on his ds, which is fine, i can manage that. he also wants it slid under his pillow for when he wakes up which is only going to cause problems later on.

Any woodford drinkers in??
haha I don't remember posting in this. Phone app says I did and there I am. And to poster about spelling, try swyping while drunk, not fun.

where did my thread go?

The 10,000 posts? We were going all the way! We were at like 3000. I even bet some guys on another forum that we could beat them there!
What happend to it?
i dunno who deleted it , but he did a great job
we dont need that spam here
now grow up and do somthin better with ur life
its not spam. You see all of these other threads like ban the person above you and what are you listening to (theres plenty more)
people sit in there and post in those all day. Why not close those down?
and if i did much more with my life i would be the next Trump or Gates or someone
Doesn't matter. Other threads are above 10k. Your thread was worthless lol
Swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
Still makes no sense
If you weren't here noticing it's because the 10 posts to post rule was causing major people (And still is) to spam. The mods wanted to cut the threads that caused spam on massive levels.

Show Ideas?

Just kinda thinking out loud here (not the best thing to do but oh well!) Wouldn't it be nice to have an XDATV show about some off the apps that come from XDA? (SetCPU ect)
Or just an XDATV show dedicated to app reivews, Like SassiBob's segment but as a full show?
As I said, just thinking out loud
yeah we have chad for roms
sassy for apps
harry (lol) for a mix of quick stuff - maybe too quick
az - general xda news and other mix
that other blonde guy for interviews....
kinda need to find a set topic for each show... almost there....
would be nice to have a Q&A live, or a how-to ( mobile tech videos - bend over and take it with him xda. he is a good resource! )
another show for games...?

Ohh I love the idea of a How-to video! That would go down well with the people who are not as tech savy as the rest of us Not sure about a live Q&A though, that would depend on having a big crowd that interacts & I have a feeling that with XDATV in such a young age it would fail to attract the crowds needed. But I think maybe a top5 show? Like top5 Apps or Top5 Roms?
An XDATV Games show?! Only if we can dress the Android dude up as Mr Chip! XD haha
Maybe this is silly.... But, what if an episode was dedicated to some "issues" (like OEMS locking the bootloader, developer's thoughts on fragmentation, the suit, between Google and Oracle and it's effect on Android and the Linux kernel....)?
Sparky WAS in the doghouse. Now, He's allowed on the deck at least.

I just like editorials and there are many issues in the Android Community that can be very polarizing.

okay okay..well....
XDA Developers forum users are way too damn pretentious and immature in order to host a live Q and A - well said, guy who said that above me. XDA is too young to have that kind of crowd.
BabyDoll - Great Idea, hard to pull off without starting a flame war :-/
TRusello - I articulated your guide, but I haven't had time to edit it yet. I did it with Camtasia Studio so it came out nice and clear.
Also, the guy doing the interviews is shawn, just in case you wanted to know ^^

http://thedroidguy.com/2011/04/when-fanboy-meets-fact-android-community-maturity/
I wrote it for XDA but they didn't want to start a flame war, which is very understandable.
I had an idea on a show for how-to videos as well. I'd love to do some!
I don't have a smartphone atm to do any so I guess thats a no
I do however follow HTC news like a puppy dog, so maybe I could do some videos on HTC news? I'm talking ALL news. ROMs, Phone rumors, new releases, OEM firmware updates. I'd love a chance!
My idea for How-To videos was that there would be no set host, but anyone who wants to make a how-to video for noobs could do it. The videos would specifically show from factory to rooting and installing any given ROM on every device xda supports. The footage would be sent to me and I'd edit it to make it as short as possible without leaving anything out, and then it would be uploaded to xda's Youtube channel. If any of you are uncomfortable with speaking or being seen, that's fine, I can do the voice-over. Like I said, going from unboxed to flash-ready as fast as possible is all you'd need to do. Then each of these videos could be placed in each forum's noob sticky.

Man, I'd do it. You, me, and Bob. Put it up on streamly.tv and we're set. Having a live show in general would be fun to do. Sure, I might answer a few questions with "I don't know, go away," but that's why I'd just be hosting it. We'd have guests that came on each week to answer questions. And I'd just smack any pretension that peeked out. Or Bob would. Yeah, Bob would. Plus, there's nobody better than her at keeping things stu...non-pretentious.

My only concern with covering news from outside xda is that its outside xda. I'm by no means a decision maker here, so press on and see how far it goes. I'm sure with a live show we'd be covering general news for a want of content. But we don't embrace a brand as a community, we develop on a large number of devices from a wide array of carriers.
