6gc.net OT forum Options

[SeverX13]

Ok so i might get some people mad or get some people not a fan of me but i dont understand why people are being so uptight about the OT forum. the point of the OT forum is just that. off topic. This is just a forum. we all need to lighten up. If people are complaining about peoples threads or posts in the OT forum than y did the thread to talk about anything get closed? its perfect. People cant talk,debate and joke about ANYTHING. if it gets to dirty or over the line a mod can just clean it. I jsut dont understand why everyone is so uptight about the off topic forum. Seriously who wants to be part of a forum that is so uptight. Most of us are adults here. i seriously feel like some of the people complaing about jokes or any type of unseriousness are the ones acting like middle school kids. If it was in any other forum section i could understand. but the off topic? come on people. lighten up. we all need to laugh. if no ones laughin than your not living. there are plenty of options to fix these problems. i know im gonna get critisized for this but i dont care. i needed to get this off my chest.

Here's a quote from Celiracer18 who PM'd me what he was posting....

OT isnt just a board to post funny pictures and link to troll threads. It's still just as serious as the others just not on the same topics. you could still post funny things but watch what you put on it. Flaming other cars, linking to troll threads, rediculous topics, while being funny they are completely unnecessary and can be left in their original place.

here's some good examples of threads for OT:

Things like networking, catching up with old members, news on things related to the site's general topic, and opinions on items are great ways to use an OT forum.

Chat threads, rants, troll threads, random threads asking general questions are poor uses of space and none of them have need to be on here for any reason. If you would still like to share these things with people, go to 4chan and make a thread, use the MSN or AIM threads on here to hook up with the other members that want to pass on their work for the day. Those random question threads can always be answered with a quick search on google/etc.

From what I've noticed most of the people contributing to this mess have joined within this past year. Some have improved, some have gotten worse. Dman you are your own subject, I have NO CLUE why you are not on mod preview yet but i don't blame the mods for not wanting to sort through ~20 posts/day.
