This is an ON TOPIC discussion board
« on: May 25, 2006, 05:45:15 PM »
This board is specifically, only for on-topic discussion of the Dresden Files.  Please do your best to stay on-topic.  Moderators will take action with folks who routinely fail to stay on topic.  If you want to discuss something off-topic, take it over to the McAnally's (Anything Goes!) board.

The Dresden Files are the topic.  We try to stay on just that in here.

Plus: Each tread has a topic of its own, more or less defined by the first post.

So if someone starts a thread with for example: "Ok, lets discuss the Alphas during Fool Moon" Off topic would be for example to start discussing the history of the Archive instead.

 ;D ^ No that is more the natural evolution of these boards :D
It's more like trying to talk about the Alphas and someone starts talking about An American Werewolf in London.

What exactly is thread necromancy?  Is it commenting on old threads?  Sometimes I peruse threads that were closed long before I came on here and go to comment on them.  is that not ok?

It's the commenting on old threads - generally, stuff that hasn't been posted to in months or more.

So me commenting on threads that were here before I joined is frowned upon?  :-\
