OK has anyone realised that every SINGLE topic you look at that has had more than like a thousand posts has lost the point and flow of the originl topic?

Just wondering. It's very annoying

That is the nature of fora. Especially one which is this relaxed regarding many things. Although, I am also on one where OT is actually On Topic since off-topic is the order of the day.

Besides, very few topics can actually stand up to that sort of length of discussion (unless they are games).

I've always thought of it as the natural flow of a conversation in most repsects! OK so it's often much slower and can sometimes go WAY OT in just a single post but it's generally how things flow when you're confronted with a diverse group of people talking to each other! wink

The equation of having had too many pancakes vs, stumbling over the naked teapot is still rollypolling in the turnaround of last years economical crisis, thus I advise to recount the number of posts vs, its actual views and note that your assumption is neither correct, nor in the right forum,,,

For example the long lasting gnu thread is still very much on topic (for which you have failed to contribute your valued opinion so far (and maybe cause the topic to derail)),,,

further the "last person to post,,," thread is still on the very topic of (un)successfully winning (or subsequently loosing) the game,,, which you now have by reading my pointless post to the very end tongue2

Why would you ruin pancakes with vegemite?! shocked
pancakes are supposed to be covered in any or all of cream, ice cream, fruit, mayple syrup, sugar, lemon juice, butter. But vegemite is evil and definitely does not belong on pancakes

ok so now i've successfully made at least half of the responses off topic.. a serious post tongue2

as Tom pointed out, not every single post has gone off topic.

and bear 1970 made the point that its a natural flow of conversation. imagine yourself in any social situation, now imagine actually having a conversation where two (or more) people actually say every post in a one thousand post thread. how long would it take? unless you are in a place dedicated for discussing that issue (a debate, a lecture) topics do change and develop over time. its life reflected in forum.

Don't take life so seriously, Wraith Dividend.

I don't see which topics are really off topic.

Theres the OP, but the OP is like a conversation starter, as long as everything branches and branches til it reaches the end point then its ok, unless its going to stop the OPs original intended conversation line from playing out, of course... if it develops on after theres been significant progress then thats something different altogether.

If every topic solely answered the OP then some stuff would be a lot harder to find, eh?
