Forum Discussion
Have to agree with the OP. I'm all for a bit of chit chat and meeting new people but the main reason I (and I assume everyone) came to this forum is to read up/find info about the game. Finding an on-topic thread is a rarity these days and IMO all these off topic and derailed threads are no less of a nuisance (especially for non regulars who actually want to find out stuff about the game) than the add me threads we've all spend so long complaining about.
I like the idea of a friendly environment (which isn't always the case here) but there's the likes of facebook and twitter for talking to people you do and don't know which is surprising seeing people on hear say they don't 'do' social networking sites when they do the equivalent on this forum. I'm not p*ssed about it though, its just that I'm here on the forums to read mostly about TSTO. If I'm in a minority and no one cares that's fine, I'll continue to lurk in the shadows, checking (less) regularly to see if anything about the game has been said and not read about what everyone's favorite hockey team or what sex scenes from films everyone loves - again, that's why I have facebook and twitter, a recommendation for those of you on here who like to socialize and discuss personal information with others. (that comment is sincere, it's not supposed to sound sarky, in case it does.)
