Welcome to the OT to the L, Off Topic Lounge. We do things different here in the OTL as most of you already know.


As of right now, we are working on making our forums to be a place for everyone to come back and kick it. On behalf of the OTL mods, im asking you guys if there are any suggestions or ideas that you would like to see happen in our home. Even if your ideas are rejected, doesnt mean I don't like you, its just Volton: Defender of the OTL doesn't approve. Let your type be read.


Message Myself, BrokenSaint or KeyJ if you need anything.


Also, do you want to keep the forum games? I don't care either way but if most of you guys want them gone, consider it done.

1) Destroying OTL games.
2) Maybe adding an OTL Arcade? O_o
3) A GSC or TS/Ventrillo channel would also be nice; if maintained the right way.


2 cents added*

Actually, an arcade wouldn't be such a good idea.

Events like the sniper one but not the sniper one... Like... a game where the mods PM'ed everyone a role ( Murder mistery :p) and then in btween a time limit( 3 hours or w/e) we got clues. There was 1 topic for the discussion and every so often the mods would post a clue. If by the end of the time limit the crook got away without being named he was the winner :). The forum wins if they figure out the killer. Oh yeah in the beggining the killer has to choose someone to be killed they PM that to the mods then the mods report who was killed and we start from there :)

Would be fun ^.^

I'm gonna have too say that an arcade would be the best thing too add in my opinion. Even if there will be a random guy that doesn't talk on the forum and has 3/4 of the highscores, it would still make me wanna come here more often just to play a game to past time in between waiting for someone to post on your thread or PM you back right? more sticky threads really wouldn't improve anything and would clutter up the place. ARCADE FTW! :D

With the billion "Happy Birthday [whoever]" threads that get started, can't we just have one sticky birthday thread for all annual salutations? Or would that reduce the OTL thread-count by about 75%?

This thread used to contain 3 pages. Now only one, since I deleted two entire pages stuffed with spam.

My suggestion is to add suggestions if you have any, and leave discussions about asses, chicks, playing doctor and drugs out of SRF.

I'm guessing nothing ever happened about the forum Arcade suggestion. I actually think that is a good idea.
