I was wondering if it would be possible to have an Off-Topic forum on here, so the Shemales forum doesn't get cluttered up when people want to post about other stuff. There's like 4 other forums on this site that nobody ever pays attention to so maybe you could take away one of those to add the off-topic?

The problem with off-topic.

This site was never a shemale only site. Even in its early days it was setup as a site to fill a niche, that being a site for people who had a common interest. That common interest being: tgirls. So while that's the collective glue that holds everyone here together, it's not the measuring stick for all the posts. The most viewed, most responded to topics on here (other than the party picture posts) are usually far removed from shemale porn. The political posts, the g-ddamned Red Sox post (which I've been informed I cursed the Yankees with :( ) and other posts on here are probably the best posts I've seen on any message board in quite some time.

So keep posting what you deem interesting. Unless it's completely out of place, it usually will stay and if it's lucky garner a couple of interesting replies.

I prefer it just as it is with only some minor tweaks needed here and there to hopefully encourage more participation.
If people don't care for the occasion straying into the real world, then they shouldn't visit the threads where BoSox talk, political-speak, et all, are taking place and move on to another thread, or maybe another forum. No one is holding a gun to their mouse and dictating the threads they should visit. What's the big mystery? The Red Sox and recent political postings over Dubya's election demonstrated just how deep and diverse the TS admirers are on this board. They were enlightening, fun, and well, pertinent. I would never reduce anyone in here, nor would I want to be reduced, to some one-track-minded-frothing-at-the-mouth-TS-chasing-gland by limiting or preventing comment of the ever evolving world around us, particularly if it will impact our everyday world as many felt this recent election will.

...The way it is now gives it a soul and character. The only thing I would change -- the tweaks I mentioned upstream -- would be what is currently being brought up by Sean in the other thread about setting up some RORs (Rules of the Road), and sticking to them. We have witnessed recently what can happen when there are no parameters.


Just my two cents! :)
