someboddy Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 When a user starts a topic, he usualy want information about something. If you go off-topic, you make it hard for him to find the info he was seeking between all the off-topic posts. It's not very nice you know.

random guy Posted April 11, 2004 Author Share Posted April 11, 2004 Every topic goes off-topic sooner or later. On axl's case, he went off by 100 miles or more and his initial question was in the wrong forum to begin with. Therefore, GC's reply was more than justified.I wasn't actually talking about any specific topic, I don't think I've seen the topic of which you speak there, and if I was thinking specifics it was more to do with the infamous Street Fighter III thread, which has been "off-topic" for a while, but no-one seems to have cared until now.I'm sorry. I didn't realise going off-topic was so problematic - I must try to stick to the topic more nowadays then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 My golf buggy is full of fishermen.He went off topic intentionally....BTW, the post I made there was just 'cause I wasn't posting since before the new year... and I usually tend to go off-topic.........My opinion is that it's nothin' wrong with going a lil' bit off topic but not by much... Three fleas are knitting crocodiles in a lightbulb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gouken Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 (edited) I have no idea, but hopefully they can knit their way to happiness in the new world of flea bliss. Going off topic is mostly a gradual approach. I rarely see someone just spout out "super monkey rubber balls!" and people actually talk about the monkey's rubber balls. Want an example? Sure! Topic: Super Hero's > Iron Man > Alcohol > Vodka/Beer > Parties > The time you scored with a drunk chick > sex See how a topic can go from Super Hero's to sex in just a few easy steps?
