    What I meant was it is a completely different section so much so I've never posted there.
    listen to more classical music!

    I think it's pretty much approached that way in the first place: FSM makes the division between on-topic and off-topic so clear, and any transgression is dealt with so harshly (in the sense of popular derision or clamor) that it seems almost unavoidable you'd develop almost two separate boards.

    Honestly, even though it's frustrating to some at some times, I prefer a more free-format style of posting and thinking where threads may go hither and thither as the spirit or topic takes it. The selfregulating power of the community pretty much takes care of any real irregularities.

    But that's just my preference.

    ^ Imagine in real life, a prick jumping down your throat screaming "OFF TOPIC" and moderating you when debating with coworkers for matters that don't concern your company and employer directly. It's not a matter of preference, it's a matter of human logic and its absence, or complexes and their presence.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    I know that I'm in the vast minority on this one but I rather like it being separate. Don't we indirectly do the same thing when someone talks about something in a wrong thread or starts a thread that has been started before?

    Even though you are our most valued eminence grise, you are indeed vastly outnumbered! tongue

    I say we regulate every discussion just to make sure they don't get too off-topic. This isn't about fun or interesting discussions, this is SERIOUS BUSINESS. LET THAT BE KNOWN.

    I can see no reference to FSM in the above post.
    Therefore Steven is now banned.
