What happened to our "What happened to our Gaming and MTB Thread"?

Why, whenever we have any sort of socializing element on a thread, do they always sweep it off to the Money Savers Arms or Discussion Time?

Why, wherever we discuss these threads, do our discussion threads get swept off to MSA or DT?

    I've been Money Tipped!
    FWIW I don't think its necessary. i doubt it would stop us all veering OT on on topic threads (which I think can be useful both to give a whole picture understanding of the POV of a contributer and the backstory which has lead to their opinion/interpretation) and it keeps us somewhat colleagiate.

    The long threads like the pinned one on HPs I almost never look at. I see something like this becoming an outlet for bullying and aggression as much as socialising.
