I discussed this with some of the handlers and since we have a slight concentration of non-Alias members, I have decided to make all posts in the off topic forums count. We are doing this on a trial basis. If it works out, it will stay, if not, and people are abusing it, it will be removed. Let's just all make you useful non-spamming posts and it can stay this way! :)

:) yay, that's a good idea :)
