    Off-Topic Forums and the Recent Forum Posts (Front Page)

    Who votes Off-topic posts/forums should not show up on the Recent Forum Posts on the front page?
    Too many times I'll see a thread on the front page and be led to believe that it's about WoW because of the title, but upon clicking it I find it's about real life issues or some other game. Honestly, this is a WoW site, and it may sound like nitpicking, but what do you guys think?

    I dont mind seeing them up there because I read the OT forums as well. I think a solution might be to label the forum the thread is in when it appears on the front page. So instead of going to the front page and seeing "Cookies!" you would see "Off-Topic, Funstuff: Cookies!"

    Ummm, there's a check box for show off topic?

    Uncheck it if you don't want to see them.

    IDGI.

    As stated. There is already an option to turn this off.
