[OT] Do you think there should be an OT forum?

[Wicht]

In fact, I think we should rename Meta forum, call it Piratecat's personalities playing ground, because it's its true function...

Hah!

I for one still refuse to believe I lack free-will. I am not a part of the hive mind! I'm not, I'm not. I'm not!!!


Now excuse me while I crawl into the corner and weep in horror

 

[Piratecat]

Don't you believe it. We have no hive mind. We are all separate.

We, we, we. He always speak for us. He believes that he is the boss, because he is the original personality, but we other personalities have rights too!

You know if you want to have discussions with gamers on any topic you can always go to nutk--

*falls to the ground with a herd of rabid squirrels gnawing on his face*

AHHHHH - GET EM OFF ME!!!!

 

[Dragongirl]

Nope, I don't want to have off topic discussions at all. At least not in the RPG Forums. Sorta a pet peeve of mine, but this is my last hurrah.

O.K., you don't want OT discussion on RPG General. And it seems Morrus and Piratecat and other mods don't worry about some well labeled OT discussions.

So it seems you will have to live with them...

Nobody forces you to read them.

But please, please, don't post things like this morning message about the guy who asked alsih2o about his tabac fight. That kind of rude posts bother my a lot more that any OT.

Without the occasional OT post, we'd never all get to know each other - and I certainly wouldn't have some of the friends I have now. They are community building - I see it like sitting round a gaming table with the occasional bit of chit chat mixed in. It wouldn't work if you had to leave the room before asking someone to pass the pizza.

[Okay, let's see if I can pull this from my spotty memory.]

What, exactly, would you post in an off-topic forum? If it was something off-topic for other forums, wouldn't it then be on-topic for an off-topic forum, thus violating the spirit of the forum? Would you have to cross-post topics from other forums into the off-topic forum, so that you could then rightly claim that the posts are off-topic for the off-topic forum?

It's all very confusing....

[Note: on the old boards, I had a post like this the last time an off-topic forum was suggested. It was much better. Too bad it didn't come over in the move. *sigh*]

Yes! We're all individuals.

You are joking right? I mean, the stuff that would go in an OT forum would be, oh, everything with an [OT] tag in the GenDisc forum right now.

Basically anything that had nothing to do with roleplaying. And there obviously wouldn't be any need for the "[OT]" tag anymore.
