What is Off Topic for?

It's for off topic threads.

Not a daycare.

 

im glad you look at it in this way. i too have noticed a ton of complaining in or about certain threads (i had one myself) but i dont think people should go in there and bash the person that started the thread and such. if they dont like it they dont have to read it, or as you pointed out, use the ignore feature (btw what does it do ignore all posts by that person or just threads?) like you said, anything that doesnt violate the user agreement or is music related is fairgame, so instead of people going on crusades because they dont like a particular thread they should just learn to ignore it. i find it disrespectful when people go in and talk trash about a thread or the person who made it, and one of the rules of this place is respect all members. if you cant say something nice, dont say anything at all.

 

I read the thread in the lounge forum and honestly I don't see what the problem is. I mean, yes there are alot on meaningless threads here but no one is forcing people to go to OT and read them.

 

Morbid Curiousity. No one was FORCED to look at that brown recluse bite, but how much you want to bet nearly everyone that opened the thread ended up looking at it(even after the thread starter's profuse and earnest warnings against it)

 

True, but that's not OT's problem.
BTW I missed that brown recluse bite thread. Can you post a link?

 

OT is for...

uh....

posts like this one....

 

Yeah, but think of this: All the meaningless, inane posts actually cost Paul money. Not a corporation with dollars to spare on a website with over 25,000 registered members. This whole thing is out of pocket, on Paul's dime.

That's what makes me really frustrated and aggrivated more than anything else about these threads.

BTW: are you a teen? Wanna vent? www.bolt.com Free, peers, has major financial backing so you can make all the inane posts you want.

 

I think that's actually a growing movement/idea that's being kicked around. I know I would certainly like to see it implimented.

But that's me.

 

Add me as well.

When the idea first came from Bruce, I didn't think it was a good idea. Now that I think about it, with the current state of OT and some of the people who have yet to post outside of it (other than "what bass is best for punk"), I think the idea is better and better with every passing day.

This is a bass site. If you come here for free, thats what you should get, a bass site. If you pay extra, you get extra.

 

Yeah...
