This board is for decent RL debate. If you 're going to post non RL messages make sure you put "OT" in the topic title, and if you're going to post stupid, pointless, personally offensive, messages loosely related to RL then go and do it elsewhere.

People have complained about the quality of debate recently with the number of brainless comments being posted. People who continually post boring, irellevant, brainless drivel run the risk of being banned.

The management reserve the right to ridicule people using text speak.

DO NOT COPY NEWS STORIES DIRECTLY FROM OTHER WEBSITES.
