Speaking of Off-topic, I think the mod's have been very understanding when we've posted off topic in the C3 discussion section.

I think we should just avoid the OT in the title line and just post the question. Most of the C1, C2 and C3-er's are a little different that the usual Off Topic and our OT subjects are a little more civilized. Plus I get a much better response in C# on any topic.

Yep, So If it's posted here in the C3 forum, OT would mean something off topic from C3 Vettes. There's also an "Off Topic" section...for those of us who have waaaaayyyy to much time on our hands and our knuckles are too busted to attempt working on the car again for awhile :D

I think it's nice to include "OT" in the heading, just as a courtesy. I am almost bracing myself for the complaints about too many off-topic threads in C3, but sometimes that's just the way it goes and there are other things on our minds, so a little "OT" in C3 isn't a bad thing. :) MJ

Ther was a discussion on this not long ago and if i'm not mistaken i believe it was agreed that OT would be placed in the Title area so those who are uptight about OT posts don't have to open that thread and have an anurism(Spelled wrong i'm sure) when they see it :cheers:

I like going to C5 Gen and seeing threads that don't relate to C5's getting locked or moved, it would be nice if they did the same thing here...

Its pretty refreshing to have some small OT threads pop up now and then,But if they begin to grow upwards 3-4 pages,then its no good..
