you can establish a PR1.2 forum on your own with your own rules...

Are people suggesting we leave Chuck Norris out of this?

Or

Do we need to introduce Chuck Norris into other threads?

(we could level the playing field, we could all join the official Chuck Norris forum and talk about PR 1.2 ?!?!)

surely moving this to off-topic breaks the house rules? PR 1.2 is very much... on-topic?

surely the lame Chuck Norris posts are the ones off topic not the thread? How will people know when Pr1.2 is released without a PR1.2 thread?

People will now assume that Pr1.2 is out and hence the thread has been sent to the place where good threads go to die... i.e that of off-topic...

Im sorry if I offend someone but surely sending important threads to off-topic as soon as they get the odd Chuck Norris joke defeats the point of having a forum? I would also like to appologise for using the Chucks name in vein. :P

The thread was on-topic for more than 10 posts but point taken

Still though, is it safe to assume that this thread will be updated once pr1.2 is released? There's already a "PR1.2 published" thread... You see nokia this is what happens when you leave us with no date and no word on the release, anarchy, choas and confusion!

Perhaps Nostradamus didn't see the end of the world as being 20012 but rather the release of pr 1.2, Nooooooo!

I agree. I visit mainly only this thread. As I am sure most other members are mainly interested in the pr1.2 update due to its hype.

So, its gone a little off topic, but there is only so much speculation you can have... its either
1) coming soon
2) not coming at all
3) nokia dont like us

Keeping things on topic check out this videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHsLs-QZyMg

Thats pr1.2 in hongkong. Thats what the fuss is about. We might be able to move a few icons. I know there are more features of 1.2 but this is the one that is on youtube.

i'm not sure it breaks the rules, but it cerainly is against my humble understanding of the english phrase "off topic". a thread speculating about the release date of an update for maemo5 needs to be in the "maemo 5" section, of course.

see also this short explanation here:

So very few of the posts here are "speculating about the next firmware" apart from "wah, where is its?!!1!"; and the majority is just noise that the thread is, now, very much off-topic. That it may have been on-topic in the past, or be intended to be on-topic is by-the-by.

(I wasn't involved in the move, but it seems sensible).

However, I can imagine another option - for all the people clamouring for more heavy handed moderation - this thread moves back out of Off-topic and every off-topic post gets deleted.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of posts and threads when PR1.2 is released - it's not going to be missed just because this thread is in a different sub-fora. Hell, if nothing else, you'll get a flashing orange triangle.
