: This board has always been pretty much *OT*.

So not true - *SO* not true.

: We have been friendly to one another (mostly) and things go smoothly.

No, there are cliques who are friendly to one another, but flame everybody else; although, that's not really a new phenomenon.

: In the past few days, everyone has complained about *OT* topics. What the heck? Number one, after the first person complained the second person to do so was only adding to it. If you don't like off topic posts, only read something that says "JG" "JSBSB" "Dogma" "Chasing Amy" "Mallrats" "Clerks" "Kevin" or "Jay".

Why is it that when somebody has one of these "rants" like you just did they have to overexagerate the point or read more into things than need be read.

First, *nobody* has ever complained about *all* off topic posts - okay, well, not since Kevin said he would allow off-topic discussions anyway.

But here's the difference - and where your overexageration comes into play - off topic posts are one thing. Posts about how mean everybody is to you, posts announcing your arrival and departure from the board, posts that go on with 50 responses about who your going to screw or how much you're going to get wasted this weekend, etc. are not off topic - they are chat.

There is a chat room for chat, so why bring it here? It's not necessary. It clutters the board, which in turn makes it difficult for some people to even read the board, let alone post anything on it. Hell, Jason Lee has even said that when the board gets too full it takes too long to load, hence a reason - however small it may be - for him not posting so much.

And I don't know about you, but I'd much rather see posts from Lee than hear someone complain about how unloved they are. *That's* the reason I came here in the first place - to hear from Kevin and the other reds.

But hey, maybe that's just me...
