ZERO's post to Autumn should of been the end of the thread. He stated what needed to be stated and it should of been closed.
As for getting off topic...as long as people aren't flaming each other constantly while being off topic I don't see an issue with it. Our forums are a huge source of entertainment for a lot of our community so...as long as it's not bad/flaming/abusive...I think it's pretty cool.
Anyway...just my opinion.
