I mentioned myself because it is my opinion and may or may not be that of others. My input is not about the forum should be. It is an opinion of how this thread should be used based on the title and how it has primarily been used in the past and the rules of this forum.
Yes it is a forum, and there are rules. If ya'll want a catch all thread why don't you start one that is intended just for that rather than compromise this one or better yet go to the lounge thread and have at it? A catch all thread doesn't sound like a good idea but why not try that and see what happens?
I mentioned myself because it is my opinion and may or may not be that of others. My input is not about the forum should be. It is an opinion of how this thread should be used based on the title and how it has primarily been used in the past. I didn't even imply others are not passionate about the forum.
This is an example of simple rules of successful forums that have stood the test of time.
