Phoenix;3265875 said:Since I have been here, seems like every single time, and I mean EVERY SINGLE TIME, a thread like this has been started, regardless of which "zone" it happens to be in, quite a lot of the replies are either flaming in a nice way, if that is possible, trolling, criticizing, judgmental sometimes, or just basic off-topic replies to the subject of the thread. Witness this thread.
Where, oh where, is there a message board that people behave at.
I would like to say to all those who have posted content that has nothing whatsoever to do with the thread in question to please, please, reconsider before typing. Hold your tongue, as it were. Take a much needed pause. Allow the thread you intend to derail to remain on subject. Please. All of these side comments in threads that are in no way related to the thread make me skip reading most threads, for that very reason. It's ridiculous.
People, if you have an aversion to a thread topic that is perfectly allowable by forum rules, like this one, DON'T READ IT. DON'T POST. SKIP IT. Please allow the readers here who LIKE Lost to comment on it! We don't need your asinine snide comments! Like in every other thread seems like!
Man.
Someday, someone will invent a new forum that forces people to keep threads on topic. I hope.
I myself have been off-topic in this post, but only as a rebuttal to the other off-topic posts, and as a protest against their continuing (like that will ever happen).
Listen, I am a huge Lost fan, but the people that goof on this board are what make it such a fun board to come to. If you want "all serious all the time", I'm sure there are some Lost fansites out there somewhere.
