Our very own P&R off topic thread (merged)

[Pooky 3,763]

Look, it turned into a chick thread already.

If anything is going to get this thread banished to Off Topic, this is it.

It's amazing how two people can make 5 posts per minute each and not be running auto script.

It's only amazing if you have never tried keeping up with a high school senior daughter in a texting fight with her mother.

It does. Just picked up the car, which I have now dubbed Steve Austin, for it is the $6 Million Dollar Car.

I miss my Volvo often, but not that side of it.

well,I apologize for arriving late and spoiling the party . . . however, there is good news and there is bad news.

The good news is you guys get to keep your very own 'special' P&R 'Off Topic' thread. The bad news is that will no longer be located in the P&R forum as it has nothing to do with P&R except for the participants - who are certainly capable enough of switching between two forums - so is now located in the Off Topic forum where - you guessed it - 'off topic' discussions properly belong. (and no, the unicorn images were not responsible for it being moved - cool images, though).

It is still your P&R 'Off Topic" thread, though .

Well that was fun while it lasted. See y'all back in P&R.

Greetings and salutations.

Did anyone ever name their Volvo? Mine was called Sven, after Svën Höek of course.

And now this thread will die. It was causing no trouble where it was. But this place is ridiculous.

are we really that finnicky here?

Of course they are. Someone even likely reported it. How many people venture to the P&R forum outside of the regulars? Not many.

Notice who +1'd the move....

What makes me laugh is all the OT topics in P&R. They have nothing to do with politics or religion, just popular news stories. And those are okay. But CALL it an OT thread, and then it gets moved because someone reports it.

Either move everything that's OT or don't move anything and leave the forum alone. Be consistent in your ridiculousness.

The initial thought for this was that since so many topics in P&R go off topic, there would be an off topic thread in P&R that would allow varying political discussion. Granted, this thread has for sure gone away from this concept and is in all likely hood more of an OT thread at this point. Based on this statement "anything (well almost) that you need to say you can say here. For politics or religion please use the below sub forum." I would assume that discussions of a political nature would not be allowed in OT. This thread (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/435732-the-all-new-p-r-semi-off-topic-thread/) is better example. The Mod response to this thread deserves a bit more consideration IMO. Is it the position of this mod team that political discussion on this site can only happen in the P&R forum, within threads based on specific P&R news articles?

But there is no F in comical.
