Read the footer at the end of the newsletter. You should log in to the forums to be able to view offtopic forum posts.
Why is that? I wanted to link a very very funny thread to some friends (none of which has any relation to Arch) and they couldn't open it.
I think it is because we want to be seen as a serious high quality distribution. AFAIR it has always been this way, not sure what the initial reason behind it was, but it is a forum 'feature'.
It was something like that. I think off-topic was higher traffic and more indexed by google a while back, so searching for arch would throw back some pretty stupid results and posts about tacos... :S
