Hijacked Threads

[Cave Diver]

Due to the many sick and twisted personalities that frequent this board, the threads often get off topic.

I personally think most of them are pretty darn funny.

How about posting some of your favorite deviations from topic and adding some input?

I LOVE them... I'm pretty much trying to be in every single one of them...

This is probably going to get moved to the non-diving forum or should I say not-so-sane jello-slingin forum...but for the most part, hi-jacking is a hilarious offense, and there should be a poll started to see who we think is the best hi-jacking mastermind on the board.

Are you trying to hijack my poll already?

Yeah, we noticed

Hmm... Favorite hijack? That would have to be staged Fido. That one came way out of the blue, in a fairly serious thread, and even ended up forcing the original topic into a new thread alltogether! Not to mention, it was one of the funniest things I've ever read on SB.

OK.

Without a doubt, the greatest hijack since DB Cooper: Going from resue diving to "Clipping off Fido like a stage..." its still the Michael Jordon of hijacked threads.

I guess I should apologize in advance. I think I am a chronic thread hijacker. I don't mean too, but sometimes I just do. I already did it today. So I posted "get back to..." and stepped out.

But from the comments here, this must be a skill that you all are proud of.

Gee, I thought my inadvertant nack for OT was a blonde thing.

So does this mean I don't have to apologize for hijacking even when I don't mean to? Hey, does this mean I have no hidden talent for hijacking? Oh No. R

Here you go! The fun starts on 2nd page or so, if I remember correctly.

While the content of the hijack may be funny in and of itself, the effect on multiple things is negative:

• Serious thread is sidetracked
• Searches on content fail because the title and general content are mostly unrelated
• Visitors are confused and have more difficulty hunting down answers
• Isn't usually appreciated, especially by the originating member
• It is against the rules
• Usually gets moderated anyway (making more work for us)

That said humor has it's place, we certainly want this board to be a fun place to hang out, a little "on-topic" humor is an excellent way to lighten up a serious subject. To hijack and redirect a thread is inconsiderate at best. Of course moderators let it slide fairly regularly, and have even been guilty of it a couple of times.
