Keeping on topic..............

Unread post by oldbluefox »

Hi Everyone,
Yesterday we seemed to have a lot of activity on the forum, most of it off topic. Since one of the aims of the forum is to pass on information and to allow discussion of a range of topics it is important not to stray too far away from the topic title.
Whilst I welcome a little bit of banter (and hold my hands up that I am as guilty at times as others) too much may discourage others from posting and we need to be careful that it does not get out of hand. Consequently, may I ask that you reserve extensive banter for LOTP and keep on topic in other areas. Hopefully we can retain our reputation of being a friendly forum whilst, at the same time encouraging others to post.
I regret posts will be deleted if we feel the situation is getting out of hand.
Kind regards to you all

Yes sir. Guilty as charged!

Very fair point, though.

:crazy: It's ironic that a thread about keeping on topic has gone off topic

I thought we were doing pretty well at keeping on, or at least close to, the topic of going off topic :sarcasm:

I'm playing catch up on this one but anyone that goes off topic deserves to get a good slapping..and should OBF need someone to dish out the punishment I know just the man to do it

Happy Birthday Stephen :P

I got AM's "bear of little brain" bit (without even having to resort to Mr Google !) but yours is way too subtle for me.
