: there are quite many posts on the pfhorums & the story forum (and most
: other forums in the world) that I have no interest at all to read. some of
: them are off topic, some of them are semi-off topic, or even 100% on
: topic. does that mean those posts shouldn't be allowed there?
I don't believe anybody suggested any posts not be allowed here. To whom are you replying?
The reason I asked why you posted them is because you act as if it should be obvious to me that these announcements were not just for people lucky enough to have access to a decent (in a generous sense of the word) Hotline client. I didn't (and still don't) understand why someone who doesn't use hl.bungie.org would make a custom icon set for hl.bungie.org, which only reinforced the impression I got. I just wanted to clarify why I got the wrong idea, and to satisfy my curiosity about who would make a custom icon set for hl.bungie.org who doesn't go there--I didn't meant to imply you didn't have a use case in mind, and were just being thoughtless or discourteous posting that.
