I've been meaning to make a thread like this for awhile now, but couldn't think of a good name. The name still isn't that great, but it's about time this was done. Here's where random conversations can be started and such, so have at it. Just remember to be respectful and behave yourselves as always.
Random Discussion Thread

We had a couple of these threads back in the day and they were all closed because there are other places for idle chatting. The IRC chatroom is a good place to go, and the "How Your Day Was" thread works as a relatively innocent replacement whenever something else isn't being discussed. The forum honestly shouldn't be littered with random non-quality posting, as fun as it is to engage in that from time to time.

Ah, I see… Darn, and I thought this would be helpful.

Nah, don't be too hard on yourself. It's an idea that many forums use to keep things in control, and it actually has its sides.
The last time we tried it, though, we got two threads over 500 pages in no time because it encouraged people to spam all kinds of nonsensical things that seemed funny at the time. And despite that being very refreshing and nice for a short while, what it did was that it diverted most of the attention on the section to the silly threads and almost killed all other conversation for a while. And that's not generally speaking something that we want. The current system works just fine, people just need to be reminded every now and then when things get out of control.

The day thread is a pretty good place to go off-topic if the convo goes that way. At least maybe I'll use this thread to dump (inappropriately) off-topic posts from the serious threads.

Kitsune, if you committed suicide before delivering on certain promises I would urinate on your grave daily. Cause homey don't play that.

Well somebody's gotta water the mushrooms.
