Add Offtopic section

Post by call0us »

if street hustlers can talk about cocaine like a beautiful woman, then i should have creative license to discuss coding like a beautiful woman, therefore I think Offtopic section should be created, also I would like to share music about coding etc. like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54X-WDpA4K8

I thought about an Offtopic section but... do we really need it?
I was and I'm still undecided because I think that it's good to stay focused only on the "works", but if other people thinks that an OffTopic section is good and useful, ok I will add it immediately.

What I want to avoid is having an empty section like it's the Market one at the moment.

I really don't like the idea of off-topic stuff. Not every forum needs them.

And in regards to the Market forum, I've seriously been considering posting there, but it's about taking source code and compiling it (C++), and I'm not sure if anyone knows C++

The Market was intended for all those people who want to pay programmers to do some works that nobody was interested in doing (converters, ad-hoc tools, decrypters and so on).
I have seen that in this field (game research/modding) it's full of people who "desire" to spend money in this way and so I expected similar requests here too.
After all on forums, via PM and email I have seen and received these requests tons of time.
Personally I'm not interested and I don't appreciate it but I wanted to give a space to such requests instead of avoiding them.
Probably I must be happy that the Market section is still empty :)
