Ady's thread gets a lot of external traffic, goofing off in the off topic is one thing, but I can see Jay and Moth3r wanting to keep serious and productive threads serious and productive. Which I think is fair enough. A lot of tight assed outsiders come here and seem socked at the lack of moderation, since the majority of outsiders appear in threads such as the ESB:R thread, I think they are wise to keep up appearances and avoid loosing traffic by getting rid of unnecessary and pointless spam posts.

In all honesty, we are allowed to get away with a lot on these forums, which is really what makes them worth sticking around for. It is really hard to find the combination of order and freedom that can be had on this forum.
