IMO if people post threads in OT, don't move them! If they get answered, GREAT! If not, oh well, should have asked where it belongs. Off topic is usually a free for all with some limitations. But thats just my 2¢

thats all well and good if you want just that person to get an answer, but it hurts other people that actually read through a technical forum before asking a question. Not to mention that people who answer more technical posts may not read all of OT all the time, so that person may lose out on quality info they would have gotten if they had posted it in the proper place.

Also, more traffic in the technical forums make us more attractive to advertisers. If I am going to offer Miata parts on here, I am going to look and see what type of threads happen in the Mazda forums. If all the threads on Miatas are in OT, and I don't see them, I will probably decide its not worth my money to advertise on here.

off topic is back open, i'm just asking everyone to please stop and think if their new thread really belongs here or if it should go somewhere else before clicking the 'submit' button in OT. please make an effort and let others know as well so things can run as smoothly as possible around here.
hopefully this was a somewhat effective way to let people know that this is important and no one was offended that we temporarily closed the forum.

thanks!
