Off Topic Forum
Hey guys,
Just wanted to throw my thoughts in here... it seems Off Topic has fallen apart, basically. People seem to confuse Off Topic with I Can Hijack Threads With Any Sort of Nonsense I Want To and Make Off Topic Almost Worthless. Off topic of course should be a place where threads not about mustangs can be started, but it has totally devolved into a place where people can just randomly screw up interesting threads that other people are involved in and spout off about whatever nonsense they don't have any real life friends to spout off to about. Is there any way the moderators would consider maintaining that off topic is indeed the place for threads not about Mustangs while still working towards the idea that within a thread you should try to be considerate and stay vaguely on topic and, if you want to discuss something of a different topic, that the appropriate step is to simply begin a new thread? I am just annoyed that very interesting threads are often reduced to nothing but inside jokes between keyboard warriors that results in people really feeling annoyed by their own posts being ruined by the "elite" few.
Thanks much.

Anyway, I wrote back... I do wish something could be done

RE: Off Topic Forum
same here, so if we answer the question that is asked, does that mean we cant start joking around with each other? if so, there needs to be a new thread thing, like offtopic, chopshop, one of those, but it should say, " jokes" or one i saw on another site, "shoot the ****"
