Default Mods & Admins Please Help! "Off Topic Posts"
Can anything be done about thread hijacking? Getting tired of checking out threads with 90% of the posts having nothing to do with the topic. (ie: 2008 Z06 S/C) I'd like to be able to converse with fellow members about the next Vette or my first suspension mod without having to wade through a lot of B/S concerning someone's political views on Unions or personal mudslinging about who has more automotive knowledge. Please understand that I truly enjoy this site and find it to be an invaluable source of knowledge. But, sometimes, it's like freakin' "Romper Room" in here.

You know?

Yep, 3-vert is the best IMO. I've seen some variations on different user accounts though, kinda weird...

Brandon, aren't you off the topic? See how easy it is. Sometimes that's just the way it is. Best way to handle it is to bring thread back to it's origins, nicely.

thing get off topic, that's just the nature of anything. If it didn't it really wouldn't be any fun. I see what you mean, but like said above, just say something to get back on topic. Nicely.
