Off topic posts: Start a New Thread

Hey all, I just thought I'd post a little suggestion that might make navigating DC threads a little easier.

First off, bear in mind that there are a lot of DC users that only come here once in a while. In which case, those users are likely to see a LOT of threads that have activity since the last time they were here. Many of those folks might have a particular interest in the subject matter of a handful of specific threads.

Lately, and all in good fun, there have been a number of threads that have grown rapidly, getting filled with posts that are completely off the topic of the original post. If it happens once in a while (which is really unavoidable) then it's managable, but if it happens a lot, then is can become a distraction. In those cases, it becomes more difficult for people to find the information that they are seeking.

So, I implore everyone, especially the regulars (who should be setting good examples), if you find yourself 2 or 3 posts deep in an off-topic tangent, please, just start a new post.

One of the wonderful things about the "Chit Chat" and "Mouse Trap" forums is that if you're looking for specific Disney related stuff, it's easy to avoid the "playing around" threads. On the flip side, if you're in a goofy mood, then those forums can be a whole lot of fun.

So, please consider this in future responses.

Just a little suggestion from your friendly neighborhood Poobah.
