> I was wondering: is there such a thing as an off-topic post at the RinkForum? If there is, then what's considered on-topic? Being a Supreme Dictator I should know these things, but I don't. I can't for the life of me figure out what (if any) focus this message forum has. Most boards are about SOMETHING, but this one isn't. You'd expect that perhaps the focus of discussion would be on RinkWorks itself, but this is not the majority of discussion. An interesting note is that for the first month and a half or so, it was relatively about RW. Then about the time Darien and Issachar show up, things become all weird (I'm not sure where the break point is -- the infamous "World Domination" thread or the slightly more famous "Diane's E-mail" thread). Since then, we've just been snowballing into discussion that seems to start and end randomly. Much like real live conversation.

Well, I think that the purpose of this message forum is just to amuse all of those who use it and take their minds of evil things in the world such as homework. That being said, I guess that off-topic would be anything that is not amusing, not questioning, not leading to any additional comments, not silly, and contains basically no content. This means that the only thing that would be off topic would be completely blank page. This, however, is against forum policy.
