In light of recent concerns about people posting terribly off-topic stuff in old threads, I have closed some of them. So far, these include old birthday announcements and certain polls (from Anything), some out-of-date trip announcements (from Airport), and old site announcements that either don't apply to the site (from Site Stuff), and things that have been revisited in a later topic. For now, I have not finished going over the Ozy and Millie topics yet, and I didn't even bother with closing anything in Forum Games.<br><br>Random topics that don't really have a time-sensitive factor have been left alone for new visitors to explore, but I am sure some of those have seriously gone too far off topic as well. If you think a certain topic needs to be reopened (or closed), or if you have some other general opinion about this matter, you are free to comment here.

I repinned the avatar thread, may go in and delete all unrealavant posts in a little and leave it locked.
If you've done things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all.

I won't delete the posts in the "Instructions.." topic, since some of those <i>are</i> relevant. But something still needs to be done for the image tags in the first post so that they can point to valid images. I wanted to give Sabre a choice whether he wanted to edit the existing one or create a new thread. I suppose I'll do the post moving now... if Sabre decides to make a new topic, it'll be easy enough to re-merge them and let the old topic sink to old-posts level.<br><br><b>EDIT</b>: The topic is split.

I think the sig thread should be unsticked and deleted, it is worth keeping around without the pics unless Sabre plans to replace them or something.

The whole avatar thread and instructions thread is really messed up because being a genius like me, i used homestead to host.... *smacks himself*<br>Ill fix all the images again..... ASAP... I've still got all the images and stuff and stuff.<br><br>All the offtopicness stuff is somthing that is enibidable in most forums so the real soultion to that is as tavis stated.. (locking old ones and making new ones.)
