[QUOTE="Skade, post: 1193251, member: 3320"] Arthur do really must be a glutton for punishment, I mean you drink Pepsi Blue... Its the only substance more vile than Crystal Pepsi. :D Seriously though, does the OT posting really get to you? I have hardly even noticed it. I treat the OT like anything else, if the topic does not grab me, off I go. LightPhoenix, your [I]reducto ad absurdum[/I] argument does have some merit (look at me and the pigeon latin:)), but good taste and a modicum of self restraint are what keep such things from happening. I've always thought that the Hivemind was a good place to post most of the really out there OT posts that come up on the boards. We could always use a new barely tangental subject to discuss. Quite a few OT posts are useful to gamers though, like any odd creature or disease posts that come up pretty regularly, or news relating to science or archealogy. Sure most of this could really go into Plots and Places, and if that were the policy, and it were upheld I would have no problems with it at all. I think the only real factors that should be addressed in deciding the lifespan or location of an OT post is whether it is against board rules, becomes an all out flamefest, or whether the mods belive it belongs best elsewhere. As it stands, when there are too many OT threads the mods remind us to keep it down. I think the system works, but as I said, I really hardly notice the problem at all. [/QUOTE]
