People who show no evidence of interest in the sims, but instead arrive with an agenda, should be shown the door.

im not surprised by this, from a year or 2 before the politics ban till the day of the politcs ban that was by far the best forum i read, containing far more information and news from all over the world than the 8'o clock news report.

unfortonatly the ban screwed that, and now ubi forum is limited to 1 or 2 threads a day about some not so important news

Yes..

[whoarmongar]

Why bother. Every thread goes off topic within two pages

[Rattlehead]

I'd like one.

Dunno about an off topic forum, but I do know those who troll, flame and insult other people on a regular basis (and we all know the main offenders) should get an instant perma ban.
More and more people are staying away as near on every topic degenerates to the same level.

[JG52Uther]

Yes

[ZaltysZ]

Yes, we need off topic / free subject subforum here.

I don't actually think this forum should exist. I think the Cliffs of Dover link should just take you to the page that shows a list of Sub-Forums. That way people can post where the subject is relevent.

Currently all this forum is used for is

1) Where's the next patch

2) Why is the game broke

3) Why won't Luthier talk to us

4) Where's the next patch

5) Tracer's are wrong

That's all that gets posted here, so I suggest getting rid of this forum and making people post in the sub-forums only.

Currently they sit at the top of the page and everyone moans here.

I also think it would be great to have a dedicated off-topic section.

The entry page to this board (When you click on IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover) should be locked for normal users and be used for official announcements only. This would somehow 'force' (although I don't like that word in this context ) the users to place their topic into the related sub-board, which would enhance the readability.

When speaking of the sub-boards, I find it often confusing to see the same threads appear in different sub-boards, for example topics inside the "Technical threads" board are also shown in the "FM/DM threads" board. Maybe it's just me but I find this really unusual and confusing

Nevertheless, thanks for asking for our opinion

Very much needed nearmiss. I think too often people come here looking for useful information, and when they found nonsense get upset. That is no helping the convivence in the forum.
Thanks for asking.
