Soo I was just over in the Evo forum, just too see how people are liking their phones (Those that got it early) and I just realized that that forum is just like ours used to be, not nearly as fanatical as our epic "official" thread but general goods vibes waiting for the phone to be released. I can't wait for the deluge of "battery sucks/ signal sucks/ clarity sucks/ phone is doing weird things threads" that are inevitable (mostly UE) but just being over there had me remincsing about the old days .. sigh... ;)

Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing last night when I was piddlin' around in the Evo forum. I was like a little kid waiting on the DI, on the forum repeatedly day after day. It was a hell of a lot of fun!

What does everyone think about the SUPERBOWL being played in NJ/NY, and in POSSIBLY bad weather.

By playing in northern states football gets back to its roots and played the way football is played during all its games, warm weather, rain, cold, snow storms..... HEY.. its part of the game and shouldn't be played in perfect conditions, let the chips fall where they may.... its football.

I totally agree with you. Every city should be optimistic or get a chance to host a SB. Seattle or San Francisco would be a great place for a SB. Probably wouldn't happen but what if a SB was in Green Bay at Lambeau? That would be awesome.

Football is an all weather sport. The most ridiculous argument is that the weather should not affect the biggest game(s). Then should all playoff games be played in tampa or miami or in a dome? no. of course not. The better team will usually win the game regardless of the weather.

anyways. The Incredible is awesome...
 
Does anyone have issues with their compass? It seems to always take me shaking in a figure 8 for it to work properly.

Also, one night I had random strange sounds happening... it was the same sound every time, but it wasn't the default alert that I have set up. I checked all my apps that might have messages coming in, and none showed anything new. There was nothing strange or abnormal running when I looked at my task manager either. Then the next day it made the sound at work randomly, and I checked again, nothing strange running...

Now larger college towns have a shot as well. Think about Columbus Ohio having a superbowl... I think this new direction will be great for football, and I also agree that weather is part of the game the rest of the year, why not for the final, most important one?

Clearly, my response was not understood... Every NFL city should be able to host the SB. That, or I didn't get the sarcasm.
 
This thread seems to be over it's usefulness. I'm going to unstick it. If anyone feels as if it should be re-stickied, please PM me.

I, for one, feel this should be stickied as a place to come and say just about anything (as long as it follows the site rules and those outlined on page 1)... I'm not about to pull rank on it and re-sticky or anything, but figured i'd throw out my 2 cents.
 
OK. Here goes

Many of us are getting close, or are already past, the 30 day return time frame.

How many of you are concerned with something crazy happening to the hardware on day 31 or 35 etc.? I know I am. Or are still thinking about just flat out returning it because you don't like it or you prefer your BB or (gasp) your iPhone?

Every forum I've been part of has always had a Lounge. Sometimes it was used a lot, sometimes not, but it usually took some time to become popular.

Just my .02 also :D

I agree that keeping this thread stickied is a good idea, it's not a hinderance and its a great place just to post random ideas and such.

I'm not worried about a thing, my last phone was such a steaming pile (storm 1) that any issues that may come down the line don't worry me.
 
Ok.. Np .. done. I actually WOULD like to see us use it more but it's been several days, so I thought perhaps it dead, to my sadness. :)

hahahaha! or shall I say:
MWAH HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ;)

Truth be told? I was very saddened when our beloved thread closed. I think I off hand mentioned that I would love to clean up my Incredible Topic, as it's close to my heart. The next thing I saw was that Guide title was next to my name. heh.

It seems to be working, folks are posting in the right places, fwiw.
 
Nice! Very appropriate ;) And you're doing a great job keeping the thread clutter free, I like the fact that redundant threads are being put in their place! And hey the offer still stands, I'd love to be a guide on this forum, since it's so close to my heart ;)

Congrats on a job well done! Of course, If I were you, I wouldn't turn my back on anyone here for a while until they cool off a little! LOL
:D
 
One question Steve.

If you move all the posts from people who need help with a problem into the "troubleshooting" sub-forum, why keep the main Incredible forum at all? I like to try and help people as their problem comes up, but I get frustrated having to look for their post because it's been moved.

So if we have a "Tips and tricks" sub along with an "accessory" sub, and the troubleshooting one, what do we post in the main Incredible forum? :confused:

That is a very good question, bro. (BTW, I love the Star Trek avatar. I know all the episodes of every series). A very good question.

First let me preface. This whole Incredible forum had, imo, become very, very messy. There were sub-Topics but no one was using them. When I came on I tried to put stuff in their appropriate places.

The Accessories fans got a bit miffed that their stuff was getting all lumped together and difficult to follow. They requested a separate Sub-Topic. They got it.

Fine. We have Batteries stuck up on the top of the main forum together with some other stuff and the DI Lounge. I'm trying to keep relavant stuff up at the top and letting the irrelavant stuff drop (like our old Official Incredible Thread. :()

Now, the Sub-Topics were not my idea, but as long as we have them we might as well use them. I would surmise they were put there to make things EASIER to find if you were looking for them. For example, if a forumite wants to look over help topics, so that they may help out others, they know where to go. Also, it is unlikely that someone's request will get buried on page 2 or 3 as quickly using sub-topics.
,
So the question you have basically is this, if we have all that stuff going over to the sub-topics, what stays in the main topic? Good question. The answer has become the following. Stuff stays that doesn't fit in the sub-topics. Topics like "I love my droid incredible, Wow! Another DI commericial!, software questions pertaining to the DI.

Ideally, it would be nice to have another sub-thread for DI software, but I'm not going there. Only if people want it.

So, that's where it is now. Is it perfect? No. Does it clean things up? Yes. Is it my idea? No. I'm just doing my job adhering to and enforcing the original concept laid out by the Admins.

Am I rigid? Absolutely not. Whereas I am attacking this issue with a fervor, I am not egotistically bound up to it and am open to suggestions and corrections.

Live long and prosper!

Goat: I really appreciate your kindness. :) I do spend hours and hours on this. Why? Who knows. I agree this place is close to your heart. I see that. I have absolutely no say in that and I'm only at this for about a week, although I've spent enough time on it for it to feel as if it's been years! I would suggest you PM Anonimac with your request!

:)
