Recently i have noticed an increasing number of off topic posts to the threads in the Gardening Forums and apparently some other members have as well. Personally, i would appreciate it if off topic activity be limited to "Introduction" threads and to the "Member's Forum" threads.
A few days ago i signed on to post to the General Gardening forum, thread "What have you done in the garden today" and found a post about how expensive the Royals are and the following post contained a detailed weather report neither post had anything to do with what was done in the garden that day. I have noticed this activity on other threads in the Gardening Forums as well and it seems to be an increasing problem. Some little joke or humorous banter has always been acceptable in the Gardening forums but mostly it should be brief and somewhat related. Otherwise, the thread titles lose their meaning.
Going off topic can be lots of fun, but it belongs in the Introduction Forum or the Members Forum threads (imo).
Any comments? Agree, disagree, have another point of view? What to do?
