HD DVD threads getting kicked into "Off Topic Discussion"

by all means, call me B. some of my friends do and i think you misunderstood because this is happening here.

edit: check the off topic discussion forum and you'll see that almost all of the off-topic discussions (that are non-viewable to the lurking public) are HD-DVD related. this doesn't make sense at all since it seems to be a betrayal of the forum's own posting guidelines (see my post above). if we truly value integrity and remain steadfast against the corruption of the AVS forums, why are we letting this happen here???

I misunderstood you, now i see what you are talking about. I wonder Why? have you asked one of MODS why this was done?

Don't cry over spilled milk. It's not that big of a deal. They belong there to begin with.

I belive ReduxInflux has a valid point.

I think it would've been better if you PM'ed a mod instead of making a thread for it. It might be a misunderstanding in the mod's part - maybe he wasn't aware that HD-DVD is listed under General Discussion?

negative. first, this ain't cryin over spilled milk. its trying to figure out whether its milk or soy milk that i'm drinking. secondly, hd dvd is written there in plain text. its been there for centuries. and the mods live and rule here. its like assuming that i dont know where the dvd collection is in my own bedroom. point being that if hd dvd discussions belong in the 'off topic discussion' subsection of the forum, thats fine...but it should be listed as such and removed from the 'general discussion' description. and i do believe that this was an appropriate place to bring it up being that its 'feedback forum'. is it not? check 'off topic discussion' and you'll see that about half the posts there are hd dvd related. and those are posts the 'nonmember' public cannot read. so its not a personal issue by any means - its forum wide baby. it applies to other posts besides mine. and when it comes down to it...its not that big of a deal to me to begin with. hd dvd? so what? im not butt hurt over it. i'd just like to see some consistency. thats all.

I 2nd that....

Most people here are not going to buy an hd-dvd player just because a non blu-ray title in talked about, or a question is asked about it.
I also would like to communicate without biased censhorship, or having to pre-research every title before asking a question, or what use even are these forums.

Just my 2 cents.
