Before You Decide on Posting "Off Topic" - Ming-Yan - 04-14-2011

Ask yourself, what will people in off topic think if they see this thread?
If the answer is that it won't get posted on or that people will not understand why it is there, the answer is no.

Many times if a thread has content that is not directly related to Buildism, someone will say :offtopic: HOWEVER, you must understand the context.

EG. Someone writes
"I lost my computer so I won't be very active anymore."

First thing that comes to mind is :offtopic:, however, within context, that is COMPLETELY related to Buildism.s

[Rant over]

Exactly *stares at sergentkyle*

Not directed to anyone specifically, just in general.
This also applies for other types of forum sections.

Off-Topc --> means it just doesn't belong on THIS forum/topic. It can belong to Showcases, or bugs instead.

Agreed with Mingyan. *Thinks of a certain person*


RE: Before You Decide on Posting "Off Topic" - Game_Pro - 04-14-2011

Agreed.


RE: Before You Decide on Posting "Off Topic" - Ashely - 04-14-2011

I don't post off-topic, I just move the thread to the correct forum.

Yep...*Gets a pointer sign that points at Sergentkyle*

Bring this up because I don't want to rewrite it. Also I wasn't talking about Kyle.
