"The main topic of this thread has drastically changed from is Hawaiian tiki to some junk about Jimmy Buffett. Threads that go 80 pages long can keep on target of the topic. If it should not be locked, then it should be moved to Beyond Tiki/Bilge." -thefuzz-

Yeah, I used to sorta think like that too. But these days to make the screaming in my head stop (or at least quiet it down a bit) I regard the main forum as being the place where people just post whatever they want. The specialized forums are for those who wish to make Tiki Central a useful resource for people interested in particular topics. (Or, in the case of Bilge, just want to have fun.)

Because a thread has become repetitious or ridiculous isn't really a good reason to lock a topic. If it were many threads would be locked after the very first post.

PS: Speaking of veering off topic, I used to hate Kenny Chesney too. But now I like quite a bit of his music...Taken in its context of big brand country pop. I don't think this means his music is all that good, it just proves that alcohol kills brain cells and enough of mine are gone to enjoy Beer in Mexico. But still, he's no George Strait.
