Hey everyone, I just want to say that there is a great deal banter between users. However, this stresses a issue. There is a growing problem of getting off topic within the thread.This, at times, can be considered as spam. Please if there is a thread talking about Imperial Guard Tanks, dont jump in and say something random, and Im sure you know what I mean.

In sort simply debate or answer the question from the original thread, and respond to other comments and questions

a little bit of banter is acceptable though (i think). it adds to the unique feel of this place.

Well, I guess that is a downside to the way forums work.

As much as "off topic" posts are iresome, they are also a reflection of how the human mind works: we relate things.

Therefore it's kind of hard when someone has a good point or question, inspired or reminded by a certain discussion and not pertaining to it, yet also is not "big" enough or whatever to start its own thread.

That said, I still have to agree with the generally-no-off-topic-rule.

Else we'd have CHAOS.

And being me I don't like Chaos. xD

CONTROLLED off-topic-posts are fine. They usually stick to the general idea, however if you run off and start a new conversation in a post, that's a bad idea. (Except Intros, which are designed purely for madness.)
Me? I Think Cheese is a very important thing in our society.....
^ Yeah, thats the kind of off-topic you dont want to see in a post about how to make a thunderhawk O.o
