^ wow, he actually looks better in smiley form than on TV. *runs*
*runs back* I think we should organize a TR chat on an instant messaging program, like msn.

This topic was created by a member to apologise. I haven't really followed this thread but the latest posts suggests that it has gone way off topic. How about stop spamming?
TR won't attract new members if the only active threads are full of spam.

TR won't attract new members if the only active threads are full of spam. TR is fine as it is. Plus, it will never attract new members while Doc is still around. And anyway, isn't it the TR way to just ramble off topic? At least we start threads with something meaningful and then go off topic. At least we don't just start a thread saying "i'm bored entertain me" and then go nowhere. And another thing. Why, no matter how hard I try to stop it happening, do my socks keep dissapearing?

That would be cool, but wouldn't it just make people talk on MSN more and on TR less? And, like I said, if you really want to get rid of spam, just create a chat/spam thread to talk about random meaningless things instead of clogging up topics. But, really, a little going off-topic isn't the end of the world. And if mods condone it, then we shouldn't worry unless we're told otherwise by our admin.

Well I'm always under the belief that if the masthead of the ship isn't there, why keep sailing?

Mara, don't get me wrong, going a little off topic isn't bad, I don't have anything against that. But going 4 pages off topic? OK, since everyone has a different opinion than me on this I'm going to keep my mouth shut from now on. Oh, and the chat/spam thread: the new topic button is there for everyone to use.

Well, looking at it this way, I've been to other forums where threads get off topic more than this. It doesn't really matter just so long as it's not flaming or mindless spam (ie. nonsense text with no coherence). Most of the posts here have been actually quite legible, and just so long as there is some sort of discussion of sorts going on, I see no reason to lock it unless the Admin thinks otherwise, I guess.

Yeah...
And as for the Chat feature... it's hard to use it when other people aren't around. At least in a thread, you can reply to someone.
Oh well.
Like it was said, I see no problem in going on as is, unless told otherwise by a higher power.

I kind of enjoy these occasional mindless wanderings, they can be very entertaining and funny, and as long as the majority are having fun then I cant see why it cant continue, after all if you dont like it dont read it or post in it.
