> > > I was wondering: is there such a thing as an off-topic post at the RinkForum? If there is, then what's considered on-topic? Being a Supreme Dictator I should know these things, but I don't. I can't for the life of me figure out what (if any) focus this message forum has. Most boards are about SOMETHING, but this one isn't. You'd expect that perhaps the focus of discussion would be on RinkWorks itself, but this is not the majority of discussion. An interesting note is that for the first month and a half or so, it was relatively about RW. Then about the time Darien and Issachar show up, things become all weird (I'm not sure where the break point is -- the infamous "World Domination" thread or the slightly more famous "Diane's E-mail" thread). Since then, we've just been snowballing into discussion that seems to start and end randomly. Much like real live conversation.

You're still going be THAT??? These old timers... never up to date, there is now an online handbook with all the topics for everyday of this year. All those "off topics" are truely the exact topics written in this handbook. Amazingly, even people without the handbook start the correct topics at the correct times.
