Disturbing trend in Lounge

I don't mean to be an alarmist, but I have noticed an unacceptable trend in the Lounge. I have seen this happen too many times in the last few days to think it will "go away" on its own. I have to speak out. Some of you may not feel it is your responsibility to deal with it, but it is. You are a Lounger, and you can't escape your destiny.

On to the problem. I have seen a disturbing amount of threads that (I can barely say this) have stayed ON TOPIC for an entire page of responses. There have even been a few that have gone MULTIPLE pages on-topic. Nay, nay, don't argue, it is true. I am ashamed that I have allowed this to happen, and hope that everyone helps in fighting this. Otherwise, we will be like those "other" forums that I have heard rumors of.

Together, we can fight this.

Don't do it for me. Win this one for the grisser.

Brian, I am truly sorry. I haven't been making many attempts lately to hijack threads. I'll try harder in the future.

So, how about Pace signing a long term deal with the Rams. At least he'll be in training camp for a change.
