Non-Star Wars discussions and adult chat - please restrict to Off Topic forum

I generally use a light touch when it comes to moderating the forum. Some would say I'm more like a ghost

However, I notice a lot of topics lately that start off relevant to the forum in which they're located, but eventually end up way off topic with general chit-chat going on. A lot of old posts that should've died weeks ago are being kept alive by these chats. Sometimes the material in some of these exchanges is a little on the racy side.

I intended for this forum to be geared toward adults rather than children, so I don't take issue with adult-oriented discussions. However, discussions of this nature are typically found in the Off Topic section of just about any forum, and those who wish to avoid such discussions can usually expect to be safe from them by avoiding Off Topic.

From now on, please refrain from veering too far off a thread's topic, and try to keep discussions not related to Star Wars or the site in general in the Off Topic section.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the behavior of the members of this forum, so please don't look at this as a scolding. There have been a few skirmishes, but nothing that didn't work itself out on its own. You're a great bunch and I'm glad to see you're enjoying the forum so much. I'm just trying to keep things tidy as well as friendly for newcomers who might wander into a topic expecting one thing but finding something completely different.

Thanks, and please continue to enjoy the forum.

I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM, JAY. I'M NOT INNOCENT OF GOING WAY OFF TOPIC IN MOST OF THE THREADS. AS I'M SURE YOU HAVE NOTICED MOST OF THE REGULARES INCLUDING ME HAVE DONE. I'LL DO MY BEST TO SPREAD THE WORD AMONG THEM IF THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THIS ALREADY. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT WE HAVE MANY NEW MEMBERS JOINING LATELY. WE DON'T WANT TO SCARE THEM AWAY. ALSO FROM WHAT I'VE READ ON HERE LFL HAS BEEN MONITORING THE SITE. IF WE REALLY WANT THEM TO TAKE US SERIOUSLY WE NEED TO SHOW SOME MATURITY IN THE TOPIC THREADS. THANKS, JAY, FOR THE HEADS UP.

Will definitely try to do so, Jay. If I stray a little, I apologize in advance. It's sometimes hard to keep on topic with how my brain works. I'm sure many of my fellow OTers can attest to the same erratic thought patterns. But we will try our damndest.

Not a problem Jay; I try to keep it as clean as I can, but I am guilty of going off topic, so I'll work on it.

we're all guilty of going off topic, so we should strive to remedy that... nice call, jay!

And we're also using this as a time to try to eliminate those threads that there is just nothing left to say anything about. So, if you read a post in a thread declaring it dead, leave it as such unless you have something to say that is related to the topic that hasn't already been said.

So long as I can march around in a Stormtrooper uniform and announce myself as "Forum Nazi. No Posting For You!" I'll be happy.

Kinda like in Young Guns or in Tombstone when the seeming bad guys all get deputized.
