I don’t think GL-Inet is interested in offtopic. It is hard enough to moderate ontopic with the language-barrier. But I am just a visitor, maybe someone from the staff will tell us something different.

About my topic, that you used as example: It was 10 Month ago, The Slate AX was very new at the market. And because I have nothing to complain, I’ve tried to write how exited I am about this device.
I’ve could write it also in my blog who nobody really cares or send it direct to the GL-Inet Marketing … But I decided otherwise.

I am aware, that there is no ‘open chat’ forum, because I searched for it 10 Month ago, But I don’t think this is an issue, because it was an intentional one-time-offtopic from me. No need for a whole new category.
If I’d like to post a topic that does not match at any category, I respect the rules here and don’t write it. Easy for me.
