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.

I think some one should go through the Hall of Fame and remove all pictures of NON ACTIVE members, those who haven't posted for over a year or known to have left the building, and those photos that go to dead links. Also, there are double posts that should be fixed (like remove one). :yes:

Thought this was like a fire side chat.

Conversation is kinda that way .

It wanders over several topics with a little humor thrown in.

It would be awful dry if we all took these matters as life and death.

Steve,

I did your searching for you! :lol: Here's what I found...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_hijacking

Thread hijacking is the act of trying to steer a web forum discussion thread off topic by discussing a subject entirely unrelated to the subject at hand.

While this can be an intentional act of trolling, it is often accidental - caused by other participants in the discussion responding to a throwaway remark, taking the thread off at a tangent to the original subject matter. The results, whilst sometimes humorous or otherwise interesting, often provoke a feeling of resentment from the author of the original post.

I don't think that there are too many 'Off Topic' threads, but I DO think that there are WAY TOO MANY 'User Polls' :D
