Hey, I know we all go off-topic; I do to. But to make it a little easier to find the original topic if a thread goes too far off topic I'm going to split the new topic off into it's own thread and move it to the right forum. I just did that with the "Wondering" thread, if you want to see an example. Anyway, I'd like to hear your feedback, good or bad. Smile

It does get a *smidge* annoying to have to go back five or six pages to find what the topic is about in the first place...

Well, it is a little frustrating to find where stuff left off whenever you get off for a few hours, but it is amusing. I've joined in on some of the chaos myself. Very Happy

But if it gets that bad, can't we just have a AC chatroom or something? I know I made one for the old Pub, and that worked well for a while...until that little incident Wink I could try and figure out what I did if a chatroom was really needed.

That really doesn't sound that too bad of an idea. The board's bigger now, much more active... it might clear the clutter up a bit (since threads tend to turn into chats now anyway)...

Well, I'm not sure, because we have the Miscellanous section for off-topic discussions, and that doesn't stop them from popping up in other places. I still think we're too small to support a chatroom, but how well did that work at the Pub?

I'm not 100 percent sure because it was only up for a couple of weeks before everyone left Laughing . I think it was my present to the board for Mozenrath's birthday. But all anyone had to do was download the chatroom program and talk there. There wasn't much to it.

Okay... well, if we ever feel the need to I could host one here, but we'll see how this works. Smile

Oh, and BTW, I'm not going to split out every off-topic post. Just if there are a couple of pages or more. Cool

I like that very much. It is a little duanting for the new people that come here as well, but I've gotten used to it.

It'd be nice if there was a post in the first thread giving a link to the sceond half of the thread though.
