Just signed up and can i say this is the first time I've signed up to a forum and been intimidated!
Ive seen the intro vid...gold! (person no# 283,987!) woohoo!
Was just wondering how folk like me(handsome...yet noob to the core!) get around XDA without being torn a new hole? I like people and having one hole so not sure if i wanna start a thread without getting the inside scoop!
Nice to me you all! i think?
Welcome to XDA , I am pretty sure that soon you will be amazed by the friendliness of XDA members . Modders dev's and other members will always be there to help as much as they can . Just follow the forum rules and you will be addicted to this place

Welcome !
Youl usually will be flamed when:
- posting questions in development and not in Q&A
- starting another thread that's already been posted, discussed and answered 20+ times. Obviously not searching.
- not following directions then bashing the dev for your mistake.
- asking/bugging devs for ETA's
- posting fanboy threads bashing the device in that device forum.
Most of these are general written xda rules. Welcome to the forum. Xda will be your best friend.
Hey dude welcome to xda and the best sub forum off topic

Welcome to XDA, if you don't leave now the addiction only grows stronger.
Welcome you'll come to find that we're all not so mean. There are some mean people of course, but don't let them get to you. Always try to be respectful, polite and search before posting a thread with some questions and you'll be fine

You'll hear people say that the developers are the life blood of the forums. It's not, alcohol is!
That's all i know really. Hope it helps!

LOLOLOL at member friendliness. Mod's and Dev's are usually pretty friendly unless you bug the crap out of them. And you won't get ban hammered unless you go against the forum rules.
You should be fine as long as don't do anything too crazy.

...not a complaint forum. Go somewhere else please. I can't read topics about my Nexus 7 because this section and Q&A, even Development are flooded with complaints. We could use a moderator over here. The Inspire section used to be like this but was cleaned up. This is a development forum for devs, not a woe is me forum. See the name, XDA-Developers?

XDA has evolved into much more than a development forum. The development is now pigeon-holed to the Development section of each device. Check there.

This is the "General" board. If you are looking for the "Development" board, I found it here for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1677
Go into any other "general" forum. It is threads helping development, information, etc. Not baseless complaining. Straight from a moderator and from the XDA phone splash page: "XDA was founded by developers, for developers."

All new device forums start off like this. Maybe after another month or so, everything will clean up and people will stop complaining.

It a new toy, you get this on any forum witth new toys, give a few weeks and the whingers will have thrown the new toy out of the pram and moved onto something else. This forum has nothing on some of the Pro Photography forums where they gather to complain about the latest £10k pro camera and how its missing this or that and swamping the forums to the point that people who make a living from the things cant hear above the noise and dross.
On the bright side they all get board soon and move along to whing at something else.
PS. I can understand maybe you are sick of the complaints if you are device is fine, and most probably are fine. But ASUS brings this on themselves, almost every dang tablet they release seems to have a really rough first batch.
As Accused24 said, once people get their bad units replaced, the frustrated cries will die down.
Oh the irony of this thread is priceless.
No, I'm simply doing as romans do.

This is supposed to be a development forum.
This too.
The forum in which this thread is located is clearly marked "general" and part of a publicly registrable set of forums.
And this thread is deliciously ironic.
XDA...for developers by developers. If you actually read what mods have to say, terms of service, etc you'd understand that.

So apparently just because people flood other forums with complaints it is okay to do it and keep doing it here?
My advise, avoid Q&A and General section because people like to be boss and do what they like over the net.
What development have you actually contributed to XDA?

Complaining about complaints.
Works like a charm.
No really, I do get ur sentiment and I dont really mean to troll u. But im just sayin, posts like this do more harm than good.
Nothing in a while. A good bit for my old phones before I was on the Nexus forum. At this point, I wouldn't even post if it wasn't for the annoying basement dwellers on here flooding this forum with stupid crap.

One vote here for this thread to be closed :good:
In a word, no.
Threads aren't popularity contests, and that's exactly what it would turn into.
If a thread breaks the rules or gives a moderator reason to grimace then it goes. If you see something out of place then you should report it, explain what you see as wrong with it and then leave it to whichever forum mod deals with it.

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.

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.

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.
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.
