Are there too many off topic posts on this forum?

Here's where we keep the polls, and anyone can start a poll!

What would you do about off topic posts?

I love all posts that have nothing to do with teardrops. The more the better - and in any topic area too.

Nothing, if you don't like them then don't read them. Don't change anything.

Enforce and have moderators actively move all non-TTT construction, camping posts to the "Off Topic" area (including birthday posts, politics, religion, etc)

BTW- Thanks to whoever cleaned up that link for me. :thumbsup:

Well, Dean: ;)

:lol:

You surely diverted this thread into another black pot conversation~ 8)
Somewhere in the dark past of this thread there were other meanings.

A big thank you goes out to all who diverted and hijacked with finesse
but Dean and the Wombat attack that ended uP in the black pot convO surely wins.

This goes to show there are professional hijackers all around us ~

A special mention goes to Andrew with his novel approach ~

Now it is time to round uP the usual suspects that find the many ways to make
off topic posts a reality and give them merit awards ~

Sorry for the hijack.
It's just that my curiosity got the best of me...
I frequently have encounters with wildlife, but haven't had the opportunity to check out a wombat's battle scarred ears up close. :thinking:

ouch.... :oops: maybe these should all have an experation date and it is up to the administrators to save those that are good and those that are on page 5 or 10 be cut.....

Vote for Ron Dickey Vote yes for Ron Dickey informative questions, information you can use, or not....... :beautiful: :ilovecamp: :peace: ah ah :scratchthinking: .... and if allected I will.....

:question: have you done a poll on finders..... I will look at my funds and see how soon I can get them from you.... oops I went of topic ......

:dead: :cigar: :shocked: :noyes: :noyes: :throw PC: :grouch day1:

This is an interesting post I am leaning alot I am also finding you folks are very very wornderful and interesting folks and I am proud to be a member..... If I remember the last forum fell by the way side because they wanted to control it and you could only talk about Teardrops and could only build them as well....

We are international.... We meet each other from across in tire countries and if you come and stay in a tent you are not kept out.....
Everyone I have met except for 1 has been the greatist of folks....

It is human nature to ask at the time you are posting things that are off subject.... :thinking: We do not click on the email box and contiue off screen we say it then and there .... I have lost topics to people who took it else where but I have a choice .... put up with it or become an SOB and demand they stay on subject. the Chances in the future of them answering my questions in the future have been reduced to Zero, If I want to really know I just restate the question.

That 1 person that I ran into I just simply canceled the question or answer and went around them, all of you have helped me with my build off or on subject. And if it goes south I stop reading and move on there are hundreds of subjects that I can read or answer to.

I try to stay out of the Political arena, because I just want to be freinds Can't we all just get along?
Thank you Mike for this opertunity to have a place where I can build a trailer and if anywhere along the way I need help it is there. :applause: :applause: :applause: :awesome:

General Discussion about almost anything Teardrop or camping related"

So how do Birthday Posts fall into the category of "Teardrop or camping related"?

I don't get it.

Shouldn't at least the description be changed to be accurate?

Peace be with you,
George.
