Brentk 1 Posted January 16, 2002 AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I've had about 5-8 of my threads go completely OFFTOPIC!!!!!! Which sucks, if i wanted it to be an offtopic thread it would be in here, the OFFTOPIC forum. I know that this is the case with some of Damage Inc.'s posts too, so i think something should be done to help stop this. I mean i go into the General forum to read my screenshots thread and they're talking about wolf3d(i do like rtcw but still), how they came to that topic, I do not know.

Assault (CAN) 1 Posted January 16, 2002 Just like a conversation in real life, one on here can change topics repeatedly. Not much we can do about conversational habits, but I see what your saying. Tyler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damage Inc 0 Posted January 16, 2002 I don't know why but I've suddenly become a master of putting threads completely offtopic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brentk 1 Posted January 16, 2002 lol...... i wasn't blaming you or anything at all , you had mentioned it in another forum... It is really lame when you go to look at what people think about something like the screenshot forum and its been offtopic for about 2 pages Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damage Inc 0 Posted January 16, 2002 I think the reason is that right after I've posted on a thread someone else comes to spam in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 28 Posted January 16, 2002 The problem is reading about one thing often starts you thinking/talking about another thing, so you either post about it in the thread that started you thinking about it or you have to go to off topic and post a completely new thread that seems to contain something that's randomly come from nowhere, personally I'd prefer the former, that way people can come in and post something on topic, thus it stays where it is, or if the thread has gone OT and remains OT it gets moved to OT.........that's the way I see it anyways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ex-RoNiN 0 Posted January 17, 2002 The official phrase for "putting a thread off topic" is called "thread-hijacking" Should one of you detect this, you need to reply with something like "THREAD HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY SOANDSO" etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damage Inc 0 Posted January 17, 2002 placebo always says that he is closing a thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brentk 1 Posted January 17, 2002 Placebo is like the Josef Stalin (or something) of the forums. He holds a mighty high authorityyyy and often threads will just "disappear" or all of the sudden appear somewhere else. I fear that one day it wont just be the threads disappearing...but the people too! GASP!!!! j/k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
