Is there a place to talk about stuff NOT related to CoH/CoV on the forum? I can't seem to find a spot for that kind of discussion.

Thanks!

How 'not related' are we talking? There's various subforms for things tangentally related (such as comics, or hardware, etc), but not just anything is allowed. Often, though, they'll let a lot of stuff slide as long as it doesn't get out of hand.

I was going to ask if anyone knew songs that are "Like" The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars (Hawaiian like songs such as I'm Yours, or songs that you would play while you are driving your topless Jeep down the beach in Hawaii)

I pretty much just asked my question right there.

Can't you guys vulcanize my tires yet?



Seriously, what is the point of coming to the City of Heroes forums and asking questions that have absolutely nothing to do with the game, even in the most tangential way?


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I think it's a legitimate question. I've been to a lot of message boards, and almost all of them have an "Off-Topic" forum.

If you go to a sports bar do you limit your topics of conversation to sports and alcoholic beverages? If you go to church/temple/mosque do you limit your discussions to only your specific religion? When you take a break at work, do you only talk about the Stevens contract or whatever it is your company is working on at the time?

I'm not sure what the harm would be in having a section where people could discuss their favorite bands, sports teams, cuisine, etc. Granted, an O-T forum can be a pain to moderate since topics like religion and politics are inevitably brought up, and they always cause arguements. And that's probably why we don't have one moreso than just, "If it ain't CoX related, take it elsewhere."

You could probably ask that question in the Comic and Hero/Villain culture forum. There are quite a few music, movie and tv threads there. Lately, its become a little more focused on comic type material, but we still get the occasional music related thread.

You just need to encapsulate your question with COH related references. Like:

"You know, sometimes I like to cruise the shifting nebula of the Shadow Shard listening to "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars. I'm looking for more songs like it, ie Hawaiian, like "I'm Your's". Something you'd play while flying your topless Jeep (when we get vehicles!) down the beaches of the Cascade Archipelago."
