Off-Topic Discussions (e.g. Other Companies' Games)

This is already mentioned in the Posting Guidelines, but since many users apparently don't read it or forget what they read, I'd like to repeat it here in a sticky.

We do have an Off Topic board. You have to opt-in to it however. To find out how, read the section titled "Opting-In To OT" near the end of the aforementioned announcement. Before you do, you should read the two sections that bookend that one (also copied below).

OOTP would like to reserve this General Discussions board for topics to do with the company, but not specific to a particular version. For example, discussions about other video games are particularly common, but OOTP would like them to take place on the Off-Topic board (and yes, OOTP knows many people would like them to do an American football game, but the chances of that ever happening are very slim). Occasionally us moderators will let an off-topic discussion go for awhile on this board, but sooner or later it will probably be moved to where it belongs. If you could try to start those topics on their appropriate board, that would be appreciated.

We also have a Talk Sports board where you are invited to talk about whatever sports topics interest you. Like the Off Topic board, you can find it at the top of the forum index. Unlike OT, however, you do not have to opt-in to it.

Off-Topic Board

The Off-Topic board is the board where our community discusses topics that have nothing to do with the company, its games, or sports. As discussion in the Off-Topic forum covers a wide spectrum of often controversial topics and it is opt-in only, moderation of this forum is not as strict as it is in the other forums here. Be aware, however, that the definition of "not as strict" is at the sole discretion of the administrators and moderators. The relaxed enforcement of the OT board is merely a way to grant participants additional flexibility when discussing potentially volatile topics.

Opting-In to OT

To access the off topic board you have to opt-in to it. To do so, click the "User CP" link above then under the "Networking" menu on the left click on "Group Memberships" and on the right select "Join Group" radio button for the Off Topic Group and then press the "Join Group" submission button. On the forums index page the Off Topic board will now be visible beneath the Talk Sports board.

OT Debates Board

The OT Debates board is a forum created to contain the most controversial topics of OT which are often of a political or religious nature. While the rules do still apply here, please note that if you are easily offended then it's probably best that you stay away from many, or maybe even all, of the topics posted on this board. You may even want to opt-out of OT entirely because of them. If you're going to report something that is on this board, please make sure it is inordinately offensive.
