Why do people go off topic in a thread. (64)
Never mind!
When threads are boring, some posters post anything to keep the thread alive.

Kendall42: This was something I noticed. People have a tendency to go off topic in any given thread.
It would either be with a personal back and forth( thought the emails were for that), or something that has nothing to do with the actual thread.
So now I'm curious , why do people do that?
(And yes I figure someone thinks they are going to be cute smart funny what ever you want to call it and post something either not answering the question or engage in personal back and forths. not cute)

When they do go off topic.That's why it's the thread creator's job to try to get it back on track when it it happen.

I agree with CC,,the op has to post a "Stay with the topic" and quote whoever is off topic.

1) cause some people are rude
2) seeing a thread saying "do women like them big" for the tenth time that week, get's boring
3) Some threads are so boring, it's the only thing of interest in them
4) Some threads are so boring, they need hijacking
5) cause some people are just rude.

Why not?
Most people are on CS to enjoy their free time and not to answer questions like they do during the day in their jobs.
I have no problems with that, sometimes it does improve the thread enormously.

i think of it similar to a pub or coffee shop...you run into friends, and although there is a topic or focus to the conversation, many sidebar conversations come up. it's a natural flow to several folks getting together.
as OP, one has the choice to guide folks back to the topic or ignore posts they do not wish to respond to.
sometimes it's those sidebar conversations that draw folks to the thread and make it more interesting.
and sometimes..
it's just folks making a connection with each other which is the purpose of the site.

It's kind of like when having a conversation with someone in person...one starts out with a subject/topic to discuss and then the conversation changes...quite a natural phenomenon. In the forums, the OP of a thread is responsible to keep the conversation in line if that is what they want.
