So-and-so has [died/gotten sick/gotten divorced/grown a hangnail] posts

With the smaller number of threads shown per page, expect threads appropriate to another forum to be moved more diligently than before.

I presume it's because those are about the forums and their members, and thus belonged in Meta in the first place. I mean, they don't write those forum descriptions for nothing. The NFL stuff isn't about the forums, or members, and thus is OT in any forum. Thus, it stays in General.

This is indeed correct. I tried to state this explicitly when I moved threads yesterday, explaining why each one got shifted. Threads that are about the boards or the members have a specific place; the occasional thread on sports doesn't, so they end up in General.

Remember, guys, we don't move threads to be jerks or to mess with people. I'd just as soon not move any threads, because it's a pain. We do this because we try to keep threads in the forums they belong in. That way people know where to find them. As a pleasant byproduct, this sort of organization staves off hideous and eternal chaos.

Always with the chaos.

For the record, I wasn't talking about MY gallery thread. I know that was something to do with the boards and I was actually going to put it in Meta, but the regular Gallery thread had been going on the General board for weeks, so I figured it was ok.

I was talking about news stories, people asking where they could find things and other such off topic posts. Just wondered what made the NFL posts more OK?

I should also note that I don't really care. I don't care about sports, hence I don't look at those threads.

I was just curious.

There's also a thread about someone looking for Pasta recipes or something that was on the first page the other day from last December or something. I was also confused as to why that was still open.

OT threads aren't prohibited from General. Heck, some of them are fine! It's only when we're getting flooded by them that we usually start closing ones.

And your assumption about the Gallery thread was a very valid one; I would have assumed the same thing.

My bad, I sorry.

S'ok. I hope I didn't sound snippy

Piratecat, you know I don't think I ever saw you as a member of the Lawful alignment before...

Be careful are you might suffer a permanent alignment shift…

Compared to the number of times I come off as snippy?

Nah.
