I don't mean to offend anyone here, but I've noticed that it's not unusual for threads to remain in inappropriate categories. I've noticed this particularly in the General Pipe Smoking section, where we've seen entire threads devoted to a topic such as whether someone should get a dog or not, what are you drinking, and what kind of car do you drive. Don't threads like these belong in the General Discussion section, since they have nothing to do with pipe smoking?
Yet, at the same time, members are routinely chastised for not capitalizing Topic titles.
To me, I'd much rather put up with a variety of Topic styles than have to scroll through off-topic threads -- or visit them to see what, if any, actual pipe-smoking discussion is happening. It seems the preference is on the appearance of a thread rather than the content involved.
That said, I realize this is a very busy forum and it can't be easy to keep up with everything going on. But I think some members are simply in the habit of posting all of their new topics on the main General Pipe Smoking forum, whether they actually have anything to do with pipe smoking or not.
Just my .02.
