An Index Thread for The Cantina… |

These are just some of the threads that have appeared in The Cantina (was ‘Off Topic’) since 2003 - so a fair few quality threads may have fallen through the cracks for inclusion here (+ some ‘lesser quality’ threads may have made their way to this Index)… 😉
“BEN: Watch your step. This place can be a little rough. LUKE: I’m ready for anything.”
^ The Cantina is more loosely moderated than the other sections of the site… this doesn’t mean it is a lawless forum… but it does mean it is a place you may need to have your wits about you, wear some quality Mandalorian armour, and be able or adept in the ways of hokey regions and ancient weapons in a bid to match a good blaster…
The Index Categories…
1️⃣ • Lifestyle (likely more life - less style)… |
2️⃣ • Comedy / humour / fun / goofing around (with much subjectiveness) |
6️⃣ • Learning about your fellow OT•com members… |
7️⃣ • OT•com member threads |
If there is a thread in ‘The Cantina’ section that you’d like to suggest to be added to this Index then please post it below - and which Index Category you think it’s best suited for.
Please also let us know if you see any errors, broken links - or have any other suggestions etc, below too - thanks.
Massive kudos, respect, thanks and many positive waves to yhwx for creating and maintaining his quality & exhaustive ‘Off Topic’ Index thread (back when Off Topic was just one section) - upon which much of this Index is based on - and can still be found here:-

Team Negative1 - a February 2016 thread, by Jay
^ 2024 Edit. For clarity… all ‘team accounts’ were banned on the OT•com at this time - yet no individual accounts were banned (from TN1 or any other project team). Everyone was free and able to continue posting - just as they were before. People making incorrect claims and those misremembering events since would do well to read Williarob’s post, Jay’s post, Jay’s follow-up post, and poita’s post on the subject - which give an informative & sagacious summary on the issues discussed… as well as taking on board both the spirit and content of Jay’s & poita’s posts in drawing a line under the situation - and looking to move forward.
Unfortunately, more public fallout from the TN1 drama appeared here, here, here, and here a month later - with some former members of the-then disbanded TN1 seemingly looking to delete and close down released projects they were previously involved with - both here and elsewhere online. Whilst TN1 have since reformed, the ban on team accounts remains on here.
