Coming from the galaxy s3 forums there was a general/offtopic thread for people to say hello and have a little banter without cluttering the forum. I didn't find such a thread here so here goes.
IF THIS IS NOT WELCOME HERE PLEASE DELETE AND NO HARD FEELINGS, BUT I HAVE SEEN FIRST HAND HOW MUCH SPAM CAN BE COLLATED INTO A SINGLE THREAD INSTEAD OF EVERYWHERE.

So I just ordered my S5 and I like to talk casually about the device and am exited to hear about all your experiences. All banter is welcome

Hey, can anyone reccomend a good rom?
not updated since june. got dutty's xt 3.9 wwe.
I'm sure theres been updates since then?
Who's had good experiences with what?
Thanks
If you want stability and speed - try topix.
If you want many things inside it and eyecandy - try energy.
If you want lightweight - try onkolog.
If you like dutty's one - go on with dutty's R12.
Miri is also has a good combination. But not for me.
-personal opinion-
very concise response thanks.
I'll probably hit the new dutty's rom.
just seen some really nice skins too, a lot can happen in 2 months.
one thing i've noticed the new dream and magic phones, are they beter than the touch hd, or is hd still the best HTC device?
Where can you find the R12 dutty rom?

p.s: Just noticed that thread closed and I've removed the link. Just google it ^^

Where is he? I had a thought yesterday. Perhaps people should be made to wait a month after signing up to XDA developers before they can post!

that is silly. the guy asked a question and it was answered. flamers should get castrated, and new members should be treated with respect. if you're nice to them, they are more motivated to learn from the experience and read before they post.
I waited about 3 months before I made my first post. But then again, I also got a warning on my first post

i agree we should treat new members with respect, but the moderators are encouraging new members to scan ROM threads for feedback vs starting new threads. they can also post questions in the appropriate ROM threads.
my apolgies, technically it was my 30th post so i should have known better.
Just been out of the loop for 2 months, laziness is no excuse.
But the fact I was answered is a great tribute to the verterain users of the forum.

No need to clutter thread. Mod's also have lives and cannot be online all the time

Perhaps you created new thread without reading forum rules, or you didn't post your query in an existing thread.

Would tend to agree with you both, all new members should be treated with respect, but at times it can be difficult due to the same questions being asked repeatedly. As cortez.i stated above we try (when possible) to encourage everyone to search existing threads before creating new ones. If threads already exist on your topic, but you cannot find your answer within thread, you should post your query into this thread, and not create a new one.
Forum rules clearly state this, and failure to abide by forum rules can result in warning and temporary bans.
To date I have not banned anyone for creating new threads, but continual disregard of forum rules will result in a ban.
Thanks for your time

Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd post and say Hi to everyone on XDA.
Love the site, was lurking for about 6 months, before I decided to join up, but wanted to say a big thank you to all the developers on here.
I have an HTC Desire HD running Android Revolution HD 5.1.11 and as you may be able to tell from my username and avatar, am an avid Tottenham Hotspur supporter.
Hope to make myself as useful as I can on the site, and hope you all keep up the good work.
Cheers guys.
Welcome to forums
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
Speaking of which....did you notice the "Hi" thread that was stickied?

poor him , don't close his thread , he will promise , will not spam , post threads without searching and he will do the home work today by reading the XDA Rules i call it Goodies and not rules lol
my advice , do not post anything on devs section , its the most place you'll get trollllolololll there
Welcome to the forums!
No worries, I will not close, but please, do as Kosh says, and read the rules and follow his advice
Welcome to the XDA forums...have a good time here!
"Bah! Humbug!"
I am sure there will be 2 zeros added next to your post after one-and-a-half years..If you are active everyday! I was not active for teh first 4 months!
Sorry guys didnt see the stickied threads.
I will blend into the background now. pleasure to be on board
Wait... what's a smartphone? My Samsung Fliptop is now an outdated piece of tech
Have you ever thought of the fact that before smartphones, there were flip tops, normal cellphones and pocket PDAs?!
Well then this is the thread for you minority of people, including myself! In this thread, us minority can all discuss what ACTUALLY was considered "an awesome phone" before smart touch screen devices were made!
Ahh, I still rememb-... I'll stop there.
Post your photos of old phones, discuss what cell phones were like before smartphones, and have fun!
(In my opinion, a pocket PDA isn't a smart phone )

I don't think there's anything wrong with posting the link to the already-existing thread. That actually serves a useful purpose whereas the IB4L people are just boosting their post count. Closed.
This is no way a bashing thread towards the moderators here. All I ask that if you're going to close or delete threads please give us notification of why. I know people have a habit of posting in the wrong area and the thread has to be moved. But if I open up a thread which I did about 2 days ago basically saying thank you and expressing my like for this forum and the people who make it all possible why would my thread get deleted without any reason of why it was deleted? Especially if I didn't break any rules or cause flamming or trolling.
I love the 90s good times
I've seen them post reasons for closing threads, but I can see it being very time consuming to post a reason every time. If it was closed recently, I bet they thought your thread could have been posted in our nifty new off topic lounge ([OFF TOPIC LOUNGE] The Four Galaxies) or the New Forum Request thread. We all want to thank somebody, but I don't think a new thread is necessary. Just my two cents...

I haven't seen that thread. Nice though

Would the mods consider that thread to be official? I wouldn't think so. At least not enough to expect us to post certain things there. Not sure how thank you threads are treated considering all the bashing lately.
That being said Kenny does a great job so if it was him I'm sure he had a good reason. Not to single any mods out over others... Just my dealings with him has been great. And he is fast at getting back to you.
Sent from my SGS4. Go Blue!! Buck the Fuc keyes!!
I saw there wasn't a topic in this section that was for general discussion. Lots of threads were getting locked, moved and deleted. I thought it would be good to have a place where people could post off topic stuff without getting reprimanded. I asked Kenny for his permission to start the thread and he said it was okay. So I started it.

At this point, I'm certain they do expect us to post certain things in there that aren't relevant to already opened, much needed, topics. That thread will help declutter our forums & keep us from opening unnecessary threads (I.e. "this forum is dead" thread).

100% support. Like I said above, it will help everyone from opening unnecessary threads and declutter our forums. It will even benefit newbs/noobs, making everything easy to access, find & understand.

Stop it guys you are embarrassing me...lol.
@E The Magnificent it is entirely possible your thread was deleted for the reasons mentioned here.....or maybe your spelling J/K.
And my PM "door" is always open so similar questions can be asked directly to me if you like.
But yes the Off-Topic lounge opened by @oscarthegrouch is the official lounge for this device and please post there anything not device specific.
Thanks Oscar for doing that.

Hi teamHTC,
Your thread has been moved from Xperia Z1 General to Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. Please post in the correct sub-forum in future.

Do you ever search before posting? Also, this question could have been asked in your original thread that again you didn't search before posting. Not many threads in the Z1 subforum, not that hard.

I think the op should get banned or a warning at the very least! He always makes new threads even though there is already an open thread with his question.

I would agree with you if the threads didn't already exist. it is pointless to have multiple threads on the same topic. kthanks.
