BluePearl Design Forum Clean up

**wasahobo** · 09-27-2004, 02:35 PM

Hey,

Hate to break it to you guys but i have started to notice that alot of our forum threads are going WAY off topic. Ive had a couple of people tell me they no longer come to the forum for the reason of this.

Heres a little clip that i found from Pixel2life.com

I do believe we have had a rule about this before but, this time im going to try and up hold it a little more. Dont mean to spoil any fun, but if it doesnt relate to what the thread is it shouldnt be there

totally agree with Wasahobo, i cant seem to keep up with the forums lately myself as topics keep going off track.

When i get home from work now, i sometimes cant be bothered reading these forums, as most of u might have realised i dont post as often as i used too.

Note to Wasahobo:
Feel free to delete anything u think is necesary dude

The spam thread is for anything so this thread will now be our off topic and anything goes thread :P

yep, under the general topic area there is pretty much a area for everything. Im not saying i hate when you ppl say random things. im just saying what griffy just said.

it is getting hard to keep up with what is going on in the threads. im not sure what i am suppose to be helping with or looking at half the time.

bu thats why we got the spam areas

**ladymilli** · 09-28-2004, 03:08 PM

This will be a challenge for me. Are we taking bets to see if I break the rule of not straying from the topic. :P

**wasahobo** · 09-29-2004, 06:50 AM

haha, well i think if we can keep it close enough it will help things out alot more
