Lindil, I agree with you about your forum. The one I moderate is very controlled because we have frozen new topics. Now only mods and admins can start new topics. While I am NOT recommend doing that for any other forums, it does help control off-topic posting in the Freestyle RPG room.
I actually don't mind one "Legolas is soooo hot" discussion. It'll give those who wish to discuss Orlando Bloom's toenails somewhere to chat. It's when they infiltrate the serious discussions that it becomes a problem. And no, I'm not contradicting my previous views. I still find fangirls to be annoying. If they all had one discussion, I wouldn't have to listen to them.
