I'm generally on the laissez faire side of message boards--I don't generally get off topic, but I don't mind when others do. That said, I do understand how it's annoying to people though and I'm fine with trying to keep our board focused...
I think it might be helpful if it was spelled out a little more clearly what's off topic and what is ok. Is speculating endlessly about potential lineups with said recruit off topic? Is arguing over whether a poster's inside information on said recruit is valid "off-topic"? Is talking about our chances to win a national championship if said recruit commits off-topic? Is using cultural references to brainstorm potential nicknames for said recruit based on his last name off topic? Obviously there's no definite line, but I think it's clear from reading this board that there's some disagreement on what off-topic itself means.
Maybe if admins/staff hammered out what they want to see on the board, it would make it easier for those like myself who want to contribute to making it a good place for both those who check it every hour, and those who check it every few days. It might also help adjust the expectations of us community members as well.
