Just a thought, but is it possible to either combine some of these threads or create a sticky to link to them?
I was looking for my first UV/OC build a few days ago, and the sheer number of TOPICS, nevermind builds took ages to sort though, where as eg the ROM/Theme sticky makes it a piece of cake.
I think theres about 6-7 of these sort of threads clogging the first page up.
Sorry if im totally wrong, I love this place!
Are you referring to the first sticky on the ****ing page?

He created an account to make a thread asking for something that's the first link on the first page. Sorry I insulted your boyfriend.
While I somewhat agree bobtentpeg .. you have to admit .. for someone to come on here and be annoyed about the lack of organization, yet haven't even read the first thread .. that's a bit foolish.
To the OP, you aren't going to get a thread for just dedicated OCUV. The best you'll get will be the stickied thread up top. Honestly though, I think it would be better served if instead of linking to direct files, and having to constantly update the thread, it would make more sense just to list the ROMS/KERNELS, and their respective threads. This way whenever you want to find it, just go to that page, and click the thread. Boom.
mikroN1 .. lolz .. I had to laugh at that. A bit harsh, but definitely funny.
Have a drink and relax man, life is short and there aint nothing here going on worth the hostility.

Very strange, and it was my first dream in a long time, let alone ever dreaming of a phone or software lol
so in my dream i had an in-person discussion with NilsP about his ROM about how i think he should add the 5 latest apps to the transparent dropdown. No biggie, 10min convo
Now im warped a few days later and im at like a BBQ party, and i meet someone and start showing him my phone and a few ROMs i had on backup
I pull down the transparent dropdown and see some chrome looking skulls, with red glowy eyes ... 5 of them across the top of the dropdown where the apps would be!!
So i say wtf is this? Maybe i never really broke in NilsP's ROM and its just now initializing or something??
Now the phone reboots itself and its some chromed skull theme, and the 5 recent apps are in the dropdown!!
In my dream i was kicking myself trying to figure out how the hell this ROM all of a sudden had it! Or did NilsP find a way to hack into my phone and add the feature i begged him for??
Last thing i remember is being puzzled and stumped, then i woke up
stupid as hell, but thats it lol
go ahead, flame away haha

I'll bow out of this discussion and let you have at it.
Earlier today, I started a thread telling a little story about Android. But, for no reason, it was closed shortly after. No explanations, nothing.
I did it in the right section, it was not offensive or rude, I don't know what the hell I did wrong. I don't mind my topics being closed, but with no explanations, this is just bullsh*t.
If somebody could explain it to me, it'd be cool.

Thought it might be funny to tell a story about my two years using Android using a kinda-dramatic style, but I don't get where it's against the rules.
It's in the "off-topic" section, the same one where people tell the song they are currently listening to, or other things cool to share but not more relevant than my thread. As long as I don't infringe the basic rules, I don't get it.
You are kidding me right????
There was no need to start a new thread, your post would have been well placed in either of the threads you were linked to....

Contrary to popular belief, off-topic is not a place where you can open a thread for anything you like and it just flies. It follows the same rules that apply everywhere else in the forum. In this particular case, the rule is about not opening threads that already exist. I did link you to two threads that were relevant to your post.
As for this thread, if you have a problem with a mod decision then by all means question it, but don't open a thread to do it. Send a PM to the mod in question (namely me, in this case) and politely discuss it with them.
Thread closed.
Inb4l...aw, you done closed teh thread
There's been lots of threads closed due to us getting "off topic" on an off-topic forum(idk) but anyway I thought of trying this out. There's forums for almost everything and games going on, people even chatting in gaming threads, so I thought of making a thread just for those of us that feel a need for a notification just for chatting it up.
There's plenty of us that would want to be out and social 24/7 but then there's those that don't and the most sociality they get is from forums. Getting to the point, let's just start conversations here that we can't do elsewhere. Oh well let's see if this makes anything or gets closed too.
