[QUOTE="soberups, post: 2137365, member: 14668"] I dont expect anyone to live up to my standards, and I dont have a problem with people "talking to each other." I just think it clogs up the forum when people choose to "talk to each other" via one-word text messages in multiple folders that are totally unrelated to the topic being discussed. On other forums, that is known as "thread hijacking" and it is frowned upon. It can also hog up bandwidth on forums with small servers, and it slows down browsing on an iphone in areas with poor reception (like my route) when one is forced to scroll through multiple pages of off-topic posts. As far as the necroposting goes, it is frequently done by a long-term member here and it can create similar issues when I click on the topic, wait for it to load, and then find out that it is a 5 yr old thread with a couple of text messages tacked on to the end.
