Except that some people seem to take that participation level a little too far, posting useless information or posting in review threads over and over again taking away from the point of a REVIEW THREAD, causing there to be tons of pages of useless information.
The key to TA participation is to be able to participate in a constructive manner.

Extremely well said Danielle. I think by the end of that drama we were ALL guilty of posting useless things. It started off small and just snowballed into stupid arguements. I'm glad Del shut it down.

I disagree. Probably part of what makes so many people on this board friends is that they participate in an open, not neccessarily constructive, manner. When you take a look at the average thread, at least in this section, it manages to stay on topic, at best, for a page or two, before it degenerates. Granted, people may take things a little too personally, but that's just the nature of open discussions. It gives the forum personality and character. Threads that arouse strong emotion, whatever the emotion may be, make this place much more amusing. The open and unrestricted nature of the threads here is probably one of the reasons this place is so popular.

It just seems like this isn't really happening anymore...a lot of threads are hijacked before they even begin! Take the review thread for that Antonio Banderas movie for example...WHERE are the reviews for the movie? Even the first post has useless flirting that has nothing to do with the movie.

If it's a few pages into the thread and reviews have been made and stuff...goof off all you want. It's bound to happen here and there to begin with, but it just seems that threads are now FLOODED with nonsense right from the start.

Anyway, I'm done with this thread...there's too many of these threads complaining...it's going to erupt just like the last one did and Del will close it.
