Oh heh, I forgot that it tells you how long someone has been a member right there in front of my face. In that case, I can tell you're a shameless lurker. I don't care how interested you are in reading the topics, if you don't post, imo you don't have a say when it comes to how to manage the threads.

Now look, the Offtopic Forum is pretty much what gives this forum its spice. Without it, save for the Gallery Topic and a few other threads, and if people completely cleaned up their acts, this forum would be nothing but "I have a question: " "here's your answer" "kthxbai". It would be boring. It wouldn't be a community, it would be an online help stop.

At the moment, this forum is doing an ok job of doing the online help thing, but at the same time it manages to have a great community, with lots of friends who like to talk about things not directly related to Halo modding in the off topic forum. Now I understand if you lurkers only want the online help with Halo modding bit, but look here, the people who actually do post with any regularity do care about things other than Halo modding and like to discuss it.

Wow, I suddenly got really defensive of the offtopic forum. I guess people get that way about their homeland.
