Google Plus XDA Chat Page

Hi all,
I am member of Google Plus and of XDA and I had a comment on my google plus page that I should post my alternate page which is the XDA chat page on google plus. I created it and there are a few people that have it in their circles. Let me know what stuff/news or goodies who all want me to post.
Here is the link.

Thread moved to off topic. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.

It's easier to block crap now. I've got hundreds of people in one of my circles and have blocked most of them because of inappropriate posts.

Who do you follow on Google Plus?

I want to give Google+ another go - who do you follow that makes it worth visiting in the absence of any of my friends being on there?

Even though I love the way Google + works, none of my friends are there. Having said that I follow, Google, XDA, Shen Ye, IGN, and some other unknown people which Google thinks that they are interesting

Follow your devs, Android news pages and check the what's hot section. Google+ is full of sane people and there are almost no idiots.

Can someone please explain the difference between the "following" circle and any other circle? Is it meant so I can add people that I don't know?

Relatively. It's still the internet, though.

I just signed up a few nights ago, but i haven't done anything with it yet. I'm not even motivated. I'm not a big fan of social networks. So signing up was as far as I got, but most people I would consider following are already on XDA, and redundancy is something I'm trying to do away with in my life.
So, we'll see.

Pretty much.
I use it to follow people like Leo Laporte, and other random tech people I can't seem to remember now...

Halo 4 Multiplayer

Is it just me or does anyone else feel that the multiplayer playlist choices are a bit of a let down. Yes I'm sure well see more with updates but I love my Big Team Battles and to constantly play Slayer is a bit boring. Bring back big team CTF & Assault and maybe a bit of Rocket Race for good measure.

Sorry to sh1t on your day pal. Got a bit bored of talking about phones and tablets. I take it you don't like the Halo franchise?
Maybe next time I'll post something off-topic in the Devs section just to cheer everyone up a bit more. What do you reckon.

Deep breath.......I'm fine now thanks Tezla.Nice PIC. If there's a common thread for every game under one thread then I'll look out for it later. In the mean time at least my question won't get lost on page 459.....etc somewhere else.

It won't get lost, but it will get locked by one of the Mods.
Yes. This is Off-Topic, but XDA is a mobile phone site. OT is allowed and tolerated because it is well moderated, but ultimately there are far better places if you really want to discuss games. That is precisely why there is ONE thread for games discussion and all others get locked - otherwise OT would just be two hundred games threads and nothing else.

I'm new to these forums and since this thread has kind of become a META thread about the off-topic forum, then I'm going to say that I don't know if I like how the off-topic forum works.
I have only given off-topic an initial browse to see what it's like, but it looks like 75% of the posts are huge archive posts on a single topic. Then there are like 5 or 6 scattered threads of varying levels of interesting topics. Why not just let all the posts roam free?
Since I'm new here I'm only guessing, but I feel like the off-topic community is being unnecessarily divided into huge black holes of threads where nobody really gets to know anyone else. Am I wrong in the that guess? Or is there really a community of people who hang out in the off-topic forum and manage to keep tabs on one another within these huge threads?

Most of the regulars here know each other and know quite a bit about each other. There are some good people here and some muppets - if you hang around you will soon enough work out which groups people fall into (hint: I'm one of the muppets :silly.
The OT forum is really here for people to blow off a bit of steam and build a feeling of community, without needing to chat about phones and technology all the time - just like going down the pub after work with your colleagues and not talking about work. However some people seem to feel that they have an inherent right to just open a thread for anything they want - they social equivalent of meeting your colleagues down the pub and starting to chat about sex with animals - not what the rest of the group want to discuss.

That's cool that a group of regulars persists here. I was a regular of the off topic forum at xbox.com back in the day, so I know what off topic forums can be like. The forums back then didn't have these huge archive posts though, like this forum has. It was more like jungle rules, I guess you could say, so I was just worried that the jungle rules were what made that off topic forum special for me.
But if you say that the archive threads work, then that's cool. I just have to get used to them, I guess.

I do think that we shouldn't force everything related to gaming into one thread.

In that case, petition the people who matter to get a forum created just for games to be discussed - then you can have as many threads as you want.

Edit: Forgive me, I wasn't aware that promoting another website is not allowed on XDA. Moderators please delete this thread. Thanks

I do not think this is the first time someone is promoting a website. But this IS the first time someone is promoting MY website. It's not a mod that if there are similar threads i should rather go there. If there is a special thread for promotion of websites, be a good member and point me to one.
Thanks.

We'd be glad to but we are students and cannot presently buy new devices. Device specific support is present only in our forums. We concentrate more on Android and other tech stuff in general. Give our site a try, you should find it helpful.
Thanks.

New guy checking in.

Just wanted to pop in and say hey, I have been lurking around for along time and finally decided to sign up and join in.
This is my first smart phone that I have ever attempted to root/unlock (note 2) and had absolutely no idea how to go about it, so after about a week of reading I finally took the plunge, and from guidance from you guys it was all worth it. So I just want to give a big Thanks to you guys for the videos, write ups and the time you guys spend doing what you do.
And if this us posted in the wrong place sorry. Thanks again guys.

Ten post rule, and why it's needed.

Like I said above, sorry if I posted in the wrong place. I didnt see the thread to post just to say hi. I also didnt start this thread to up my post count, but to say thanks for the work that these developers put in to their work. I posted in the off topic discussion because I thought it was off topic and by all means please move it to the right thread if it offends anyone.
