Yea I know but I can still try. I can go either way on this issue, I've felt the annoyance of having a thread get immediately high jacked and I also don't see why people have to get all up in arms about it too. That's why I left this one up for a vote.

We'll see what the votes look like in a week! :beer:

My vote was no change. I'm not anonymous about it. I would imagine it to be hard, especially with an asshole like me who gives you hell for damn near everything. But I have trouble remembering that most of the American people have become the pussies of the world and have to have it their way or they get all ancy and shit. Dealing with that must suck. More power to you for doing. If it must be done. My vote would be create a forum and give a bitch kind of name so they feel inferior since they are.

votes can be misleading. I'm on tapatalk and can't vote, wonder if there's more like me. My vote would be for no change or a separate form for no off topic, call it the real fucking boring forum or something similar.

The votes seem to agree with that.

I'll forward all such pms on the subject I've recieved directly to you Olly.

It sounds good on paper to have yet another subforum but all it does is clutter things up even more.
If the vote shows that people want more moderation you either have to give it them or let them leave... and vice versa.

I'm actually ashamed to admit this but I don't know what your 50/50 or medium theories are. I'm obviously on here a ton but I must have missed that thread and never took the time to go figure it out. So for months I've been lost about what that shit means.

For the record I voted to keep things the way they are, but in reality if someone puts the notation to keep on topic at the top of their thread it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

You can only stay on the subject of: "is the 870 express the same as the 870 magnum?" for so long before an acceptable answer is given. Then what? I've got a buddy whom I can BS with for hours on end but we don't talk about carburetors or the hot chick at dutch bros for the whole damn time.

Could be, I thought it was just where you wouldnt get your balls busted over seemingly basic questions, off topic just don't call me stupid when I post a pic of a mallard drake and ask what kind of duck is this.
