*groans* lol. :laugh:
I suppose it doesn,t matter too much if a topic only strays slightly off topic, if it,s to try and make a point, it,s when it goes RIGHT off topic that I don,t like. I,d give examples but then I,d definately get shot, so I,ll shaddup now. ;)

My take on this subject has been shared by others already..

It is about BBM specifically then it shouldn't stray far at all.
Some threads are more open in theme. Common sense should be used.
But nobody should hijack another persons thread on a specific matter. That is just rude.

Ditto.

I voted this because I have seen OT subjects become just a conversation between two or three select people and any posts put in by others are completely ignored. I have seen this on other boards, I don't mean necessarily here. It is irritating and kind of isolating.

Ditto again.

I agree. Personally, I'm not that persnickety about single OT posts. It's just when a whole thread is taken OT that it's kind of a drag.
Ellemeno:
I feel a little shy about saying this, but the kind of off-topicness that can shut me out of a thread is when two or three or four or more buddies take over a thread to tease and play around with each other, ignoring both the topic and the rest of the people on the thread. Some of the threads here have pages of that.
I'm not talking about blog threads where people visit each other and have chat-type conversations, I'm talking about threads with real topics that turn into that goofy bantering post after post that is better saved for those chat-type threads.
