Yup. It's gotten out of hand now if we can pinpoint the exact post which kills a thread.
You're still rather new, comparatively, so you may not be aware that off-topicness is the cornerstone...nay, the foundation of TendoCity. Any thread which can stay on topic for more than one page is rare and ones that last two pages are nearly nonexistant.
Were you around to see the heralded "Virginity Thread"? The one sung of in songs and stories of TendoCity lore? Well, it began as a thread by UltraMarioMan as, obviously, a thread asking if Tendites had lost their virginity yet. Well, that's fine. The thread then grew. Festered may be a better word. During the long life of the Virginity Thread, we must have changed topics about 30 times, to completely random things. We didn't consciously do it, we just kind of flowed form one topic to another without even realizing just how off-topic we were. In a way, it became sort of symbolic of the way things go around here. Or it was just a bunch of us with nothing better to talk about.
Ahh...memories. I wonder if that old thing is still stored someplace on this domain...
