I was told by a mod that this thread is fine. I won't throw this mod under a bus, but if this is not allowed please close.
I run an Android website with roughly 8-10 writers and YouTube reviewers. We are currently looking for 2 more writers and 2 more YouTube review guys or gals. This website is strictly Android and a lot of our news comes from the devs here at XDA (we ALWAYS link back here to XDA). We don't support warez or any kind or stealing peoples or business's work.
If this is something you're interested in and ready for a commitment, hit me up here in my pm or hangouts. ([email protected]).
We are an up and coming Android site that get fun review units and have recently added a forum. We're all set with mods for the forums, but need writers and youtubers.
Thanks for looking and mods if this is not allowed please shut this thread down.
Thanks,
Chef

I seem to be having a lot of email discussions recently between groups of people. Having such discussions over email obviously has some big disadvantages compared to discussion forums.
What I need is a website that will allow me to create an ad-hoc discussion topic and limit it to a closed group of people. Ideally this will be achieved by having an obscure URL to the topic such that people do not need to register and its simply a case of sharing the URL (similar to how you can share private YouTube videos or Picasa albums).
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

Yeah. But the service is still in Beta. From the track record of the company though, it'll never leave BETA.
It's called Google+
Ok, it's not a fully functional discussion forum but I managed to find this website which seems to a workable solution: http://www.quicktopic.com

Thanks for the links but I'm not sure why this is different from any other forum site. It doesn't appear to allow me to setup a private discussion topic. Have I missed something on those sites?
ZURKER is one of the recent most discussed online venture. Heard of it?? Its a Social-networking site developed by Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss (founders of Harvard Network),but can be joined through referrals only.
Its definitely an innovative idea as every member owns a share in ZURKER. Here's the link (Its the referral from me, so if you're from India,I'll get the referral credit, Just to inform.)
Join
So Who wants to ZURK.
PS: Its in beta & limited to specific countries.
Not heard of it, but I can check it out if you send me an invite.
I'll PM you..Don't know if mods would allow me to post the link here..
Sounds kinda cool
I want in lol

OP - you might want to add that it's a referral link, just so people know.

Zurker is not the invention of Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss, It it's the brainchild of one Nick Oba.
I wish people would get their facts right before writing misleading posts like yours

Jeez XDA, still no dedicated forum for Chromecast? With its current sell out & continued interest you'd think there would already be a dedicated forum here.
Then again, why am I surprised at XDA being slow on the uptake lol!

Really? No Dev section, no general, etc... "Umm" your definition of a dedicated forum and mine appear to differ.
It's only been out for a weekend. Many people that ordered the first day still havent even received theres (myself included). Give it a week or so. It's already been rooted and people are figuring out work-arounds to do what they want with it. Until there's actually mods to make to the device, it probably want get a dedicated section.

But I sure that xda forum is a dedicated forum where all persons can share any new information or problems. I will say thanks to xda forum for aware the informations of dedicated developers. I also visited CSS Chopper where a number of results always found the dedication of developers.
I asked about here but no response.
Alright, let's finally get all this off topic chatter out of development forums
Welcome to the place for us to hang out when we want to talk about things other than phones
This is posted in the 4x HD general because its intended for us to talk as a 4x HD community, not in the off topic forum
I think it would be best to keep personal things like where we go to work/school out of this, as this forum is a public place that anyone can see
Also try to keep things clean, as we have young people among us
Any 4x HD user is welcome here, don't be scared by anyone Australian, feel free to ask questions too
I'm thinking new topics every now and then, or we can just go where the thread takes us
Again, anyone is welcome, please feel welcome, and if you like, please contribute to the thread
But don't see it as a place to get over your 10 post barrier
If you are spamming to get your 10 posts, we will dob you in
So, what to talk out?
Id just like to point out New Zealanders are far scarier than Australians.
Nice idea, but i dont know how moderators will act when they see such topics even on non development sections.
i do agree to have such off topic thread and see what will happen.

Sorry guys, but OT threads are not allowed here... Thread closed
XDA is forum for Custom ROMs, Discussion, Troubleshooting, etc.
From sometime Thread OP are creating a Telegram group to discuss bugs, troubleshooting and other things, and posting the Links in OP then what is meaning of creating threads on XDA. Why XDA mods are allowing these threads. My personal opinion is all the discussions regarding the ROM or Kernel should go on thread not on other platforms.
What do other XDA members think. Share your views here to stop these practice's.

I understand what your referring to as I've seen this as well from time to time...
I had thought that there was an XDA Forum Rule(s) that restricts the sole use of the Telegram on the forum (I believe that there's more to this rule as well)
The choice of one of the following threads is probably your best bet for providing this type of feedback.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976627
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987254
Only a Moderator/Administrator (like @MikeChannon or @Darth for example) can really provide a clear outline/understanding for this rule.
Good Luck!

There's this we put out not long ago, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/telegram-chat-channels-forward-t3764521
Basically, no TG links should be anywhere on xda, except in post number one of a development thread, only. We realize devs may want some quick communication with members for some issues, and real time chat is obviously quick.
But no links to TG should be anywhere else on xda. :good:
Just hit report if you see links outside of the first post in a dev thread, and mods will handle it.

Thank you very much for your time with providing this valuable guidance!
Now I know more about the XDA Policy regarding this specific topic.
I am not a big fan of the Telegram being used as a primary means of support for a development and such that's posted on the Forum but, I felt that it could be an alternative tool in addition to active support on the said Developmental Thread posted.
Just my personal thoughts... :thumbup:

Exactly! One TG link in a dev thread op is supposed to be an optional way of communicating. Definitely never the only way. If it's found that a OP is only supporting, discussing or updating on Telegram, the thread would likely be closed if its discovered to be this way. :good:

Thank you for clearing this up.
Sometimes some user post a bug or need troubleshooting, other user guide him/her to a Telegram group for that specific thing and do not discuss it inside thread. This should not be permitted.
I think there should be strict rule regarding what is permitted to discuss outside the thread.

Just my opinion on this (and from what I understand regarding the XDA Rules)...
I believe that there can be certain circumstances with providing guidance via Telegram but, it shouldn't be the sole option for the member.
As a member myself, I actually don't use Telegram but, I have used it previously under certain circumstances that are very seldom if that.
As a developer myself, sometimes there's support/guidance that is preferred to be taken offline and, if needed, the results would be determined to be of value to other members within the thread or something that didn't.
I do personally prefer to keep most conversations on the thread as something beneficial to other members but, there has been occasions that I'd prefer to take it offline to prevent misunderstandings and confusion.
I hope that I had stated the above okay via text... :thumbup:
I did notice that this discussion was also continued elsewhere, and even responded to by @the_scotsman and @Weapon X as well...

I understand the want for this but lets all really be honest. Development and support has been moved off XDA for years. A forum setup just doesnt really benefit the fast paced nature of currant development. Even back when I made roms for the old Galaxy S1 the team would do all development off site. Mostly because it was a faster response time. XDA has become a staging ground for roms while everything development and learning are done in chats. Like The most popular telegram or whats app and I hear some are even using discord (not sure about that last one as it seems out of place on a gaming messaging platform but hey)
As for the rule about the link only being in the OP. Well they have been getting around that by sending PM with the links or just flat out posting the links. No one reports it so no mods see it unless they stumble upon it.
If XDA wants to remain somewhere other then a place to post rom links thy might want to figure out that IM style messaging setup sooner or later.
Darth I can tell you that thererare many roms that are only updating on telegram and only offer support there as well. Everything posted here is just the "stable" versions if you know what I mean. Long has XDA been being used as a traffic grab by many.
Just my 2cents.
Is Custom ROM safe to install in smartphones? because most of the custom ROM's soft brick the phone.
