Don't push me Poppy!

Stay on topic please!

This is a *Serious* SLI thread, not some thread about a game

I love it. The owner of the forum is supporting the thread derail.

Such a contrast to the other forums.

i am the one who will have to clean it up


My own threads get derailed. But i don't look at it that way. i see each post (unless it is a thread crap; which is quite different than a derail) as someone 'bumping' the thread to give it attention. No one reads so slowly that they cannot skip the light banter to find the gems.

i look at it this way. About 95% of the posts at VC&G are BS. You have to really sift through the sales pitches and the flames to find any gems over there. ABT posts - even with the 'derailing' has a much higher quality in the overall content.

Fine. I've removed the content of the first two posts until such time as the thread is un-derailed.

gstanford is so easy going eh. Even if you do the guy a favor he'll still push you around and try to force you to do things exactly his way.

i am not going to change anything now.

You can take you ball and go home if you like. Some children never learn to play well with others.

I created a serious thread, serious threads should not be de-railed. What I'd love as a forum option is the ability for the thread creator to decide if a post will be displayed in the thread or not.

You should start your own forum

No, I haven't the patience or the spare time for that sort of caper.

In general I don't mind the free form posting and lack of moderation here, but it really irritates when a serious thread is created to benefit people and it gets dragged off topic. Perhaps we need a serious topics sub-forum where there is strict moderation, but trivia threads and derails are not permitted.
