Pffft, the spam thread was, in my opinion, an utter waste. The Forums don't do spam, it's as simple as that. And the staff let that slip, so now we're making up for it. If you want to spam, then go somewhere spammy, email each other with pointless quips and just be random out of boredom.
I never went into the spam thread, so I don't know the precise contents, but if you've been talking about your lives, then do that decently. There are other threads that discuss that without any problem. Maybe there should be a general "blog" thread where you can all talk about what's going on in your lives. But still spam would eliminated from that. Threads are allowed to change their course, and most of them end up doing just that. It's when a post has no relevence whatsoever that it is removed, such as Cyber-Slig's Irish quip If you're just being random and pointless, then don't. There's no need for it whatsoever. There's no need for a place to "get it out of your systems." If you feel the need for spam, then get off the Forums and do something a little less sad.
