For me, I don't have a problem with OT discussions. If I don't like the header or if I don't have anything to offer, I just skip them. I would hate to think that there was someone out there who may need help and maybe not have anywhere else to turn. I know a lot of people here have been able to form long-term friendships, but that may not be the same for everyone.. possibly the OT poster needs a more far reaching question answered or a personal story given to help with an issue. While maybe not directly related to fitness or doing videos, it may be a matter of personal well being. I found it refreshing to find other fans of Breaking Bad or Dancing with the Stars, or what the latest fall reads are.
I have to wonder if some OT discussion never occurred, and we get to know one another on a different level.......would friendships continue to develop? |

I'm glad this thread was started. I hadn't seen Wendy's post from 10/31 and had been thinking that Wendy has become very tolerant of OT threads. I do enjoy some OT threads, but this could easily become the norm instead of a predominantly fitness video forum.

This is one of the policies which has existed since the beginning of VF. VF costs money to run and it's Wendy's prerogative to set boundaries to the discussion.

Exactly. Even if we are VF supporters (and I know that there are those who aren't for whatever reason) it costs both money and time to run this board. I have a problem when there are a ton of off topic threads because WWWendy has set guidelines and bandwidth isn't free. I appreciate her effort and respect her right to set limits.

I understand it costs $$ to run VF but if the problem isn't getting fixed by stickies that few people pay attention to (including myself!), maybe another approach is needed. Joan |
