off-topic was removed due to consistent abuse.

Good thing, too. I was getting distracted from working on Rusty!

I've got the last four months worth on disk. That'll be an antique now.
It's sad that a very small minority spoiled it for everyone.

That's a very valid reason (and probably the only one) for removing
p.o-t. from this server!

That's what happens when a few people complain loudly and insistently
instead of just killfiling what they don't like to read.

Wouldn't it have been better to warn users of off-topic group before
removing it and only if this didn't help, then close that group? (Sorry,
if this was done already, I quit reading off-topic group couple of month
ago and don't know, what happened there).
My only concern with this group removing is the possible increase of
off-topic messages in other groups now. Hopefully TAG and POV-Ray team
members will follow new administration rules and avoid this...

wonderful tactic, remove the whole group just to silence one individual who
you allowed to get up your nose - because that's what he does given half the
chance.
lets all take a moment to remember why p-ot was deemed necessary in the
first place, and then remember how the group had become almost a focal point
for the many in this little online community. It wasn't just POV'ers sharing
there knowledge anymore, it was POV'ers enjoying a real sense of belonging
in a group where almost no subject was taboo.
Sure your bound to get inflammatory statements, trolls, flame wars,
religion,
politics and all the rest, but better in p-ot than in p.g!, you didn't have
to read it. if people didn't care for a particular thread they could just
ignore it (exactly what I did through the whole trig wars), and to top it
off a 14 day spool.
nice one guys, just great.

There is no doubt that it will, and it will be very difficult to police, as
most off-topic's start as a result of comments in a perfectly legit post.

I am sad and glad to see it go. When it started it was a very good idea, and I
enjoyed it. As of late it has been abused. I hope that after a cooling off
period Chris Cason will consider bringing it back.
