I was reluctant at first but this thread just made me implement what a lot have been asking for.

Effective today, off-topic threads will no longer appear in the Active Topics block at the right sidebar.

You can still start new off-topic threads in this forum, discuss off-topic items, subscribe to it's RSS feed, as well as subscribe to receive emails on the Off-topic forum, but the Active Topics block at the right will now only show Maemo related discussions.

Thanks.
