Hows this happen???

[haggis]

Im a morning insomniac. Dont matter what time I got to bed I just cant sleep past 3am. So I surf as its the only quiet thing I know how to do.. Anyway I digress from the title. Just about every topic I have read on here so far has changed topic in about 3 or 4 posts. Usually going down hill or turning to sex of one sort or another. The usual slagging appears around post 6 and by post 10 its sometimes back on track.
Why does this happen on forums??
Just curious and wondering where this ones gonna go

I have noticed the same thing. Maybe it's to do with starting a topic in the wrong section
I believe it is the same as pub or party conversations involving a several people, who may not know each other very well, tends to happen when someone joins in, it's a form of 'ice breaker', can also happen when a conversation stalls or to lighten the mood if things get a bit serious.

BTW I am also an early riser, usually between 3.30 and 5.00. Usually end up working in the garage if it's not too cold but not allowed to use machinery or hammer things

Hmmm, think I need to to SpecSavers as I haven't noticed much reference to sex, maybe it me age

Again with slagging off, I would say this is one of the very few forums where it is very rare for someone to get slagged off. Must admit if some of what I put on forums was taken out if the context it was meant it wouldn't look good, my mind doesn't seem to work the same as a lot of other peeps.

Then again I have used chat rooms, forums (or bulletin boards as they were known previously) since early to mid 90's and most likely look for the humour (or sarcasm maybe) in a post.

As to threads going off topic I think it can quite often open up and present new ideas. I know I am guilty of doing this and look back at some threads and think it should be edited out. Overall I think there is more benefit by letting threads go off topic but ideally the original poster should be able to remove the of topic comments if they want to. Not sure that's always possible though and a click of the wrong button would mean they lost the lot so may not be a good idea

ok past the 10 post mark

Can't remember but anyone fairly new to this forum will surely learn pretty quickly that the slagging off that goes on here is usually done with a smile - only because we know how the place works we don't usually feel the need to use a 'smilie' to indicate that it's in fun - cos people know that anyway!

[kevsky]
