The number of off topic threads is getting silly.

You mean you didn't come to the X-wing miniatures forum to talk about how Rebels/Episode VII is going to suck/be awesome, or Attack Wing, the Babylon 5 reboot, your breakfast of choice, or which forum member annoys you the most? What are you even doing here then?

I suppose you'd rather talk about effective squad building ideas, game tips, and tactics, maybe check out some repainted or modified ships? The nerve of some people, I tells ya!

Hey now... I only started one of those. Also, isn't this technically an Off Topic thread since it isn't discussing X-Wing Miniatures?

GREAT to see the Mods locked a topic!

They've been doing a fair amount of cleaning today. So far I count two deleted threads and two locked ones, and I may be missing others.

The Gif party stands... for now. I kinda expect them to delete that too, though I'd rather they didn't.

I hope they don't get rid of Gif party.

And they have been doing a lot of work today.

Indeed, quite the purge.

It seems like fighting is fine. In-depth discussion about important social topics is not.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the occasional off-topic thread. As long as it's marked properly, I can stay away from it and it won't bother me. Their efforts today seem to be directed towards the more divisive threads, though I'm still scratching my head about this one. It was only a little tainted.

They've been pretty consistent about doing that with any thread that starts off on the wrong foot. I'd link some troll topics where the community came together to talk about other things (usually food), but they've likewise been deleted.

What if they were important social topics pertaining to the Star Wars Galaxy?

Type of discussion: Open Discussion

Topic of discussion: The similarities between the Jedi and Sith Religions.

Let's make this worthwhile and interesting but keep the Gungans out of this.

GO!

which ones were deleted?

'Forum disagreements' and 'Sex-wing.'

I will drive to your house and fist fight any of you who dare to post something that disagrees in any way with my many, many strong opinions on things.

Seriously though. Off topic but SFW and funny, ok.
Funny star wars related thread like gif party, great.
Personal grievance/QQ attention whoring thread? Report and don't reply. Just report and leave it alone.

Yeah, that locked thread is an odd one to lock.

That sounds fair.

Jedi and Sith have the same religion. Han is an atheist.

I think while the Jedi and Sith have a lot of similarities besides the obvious, (lightsabers, force users, temples, a long history of violence) they do have some philosophical differences.

Regarding Han, I would think he's more just unconvinced at first that The Force isn't just stories... Later on in the films it seems he starts to believe at least in some capacity.

Well we couldn't find C3P0, but we could find a man with a C3P0 upgrade card

I think while the Jedi and Sith have a lot of similarities besides the obvious, (lightsabers, force users, temples, a long history of violence) they do have some philosophical differences.

Quite so, but they share the same cosmology. I would make RW comparisons, but that may condemn this thread to the recycle bin.

Of course. I was being flippant.

No need for RW comparisons here as this is a discussion of Star Wars.

Also, please be kind to ants in the future.

Nevermind that last pun, it was terrible.

Well, make that three threads deleted today. I am more than mildly impressed by the moderators.

They got it while I was lurking on the thread! Impressive, most impressive. Probably best to talk about X Wing I suppose.

Or play it. I won't be going into the shop until tomorrow, though.

Strangely enough we've been playing more Dust than X-Wing recently, and I spent a fair amount of time at Marvel Dice Masters last week. Right now I couldn't care less about Rebel Aces; it's WH40k Conquest I'm itching to play!

Has anyone been keeping up with the Khans of Tarkir spoilers? They started this past weekend.

I just managed to get a pirate joke on the last one before it was deleted.

'Forum disagreements' and 'Sex-wing.'

GOOD!
