You do realise those threads date back from at least 2-3 years ago, at a time when GTP was just the shadow of what it is today? 3 years ago there weren't even 500 people registered. Back then the community was much tighter, much friendlier, and because of the lack of members, you could get away with that stuff. The fact he bumped back an old thread, we'll take the Alone on GTP one because that's the one you're whining about, that has its point, too. With the upcoming release of GT4, we're bound to have a bunch more newbies, which will further grow this community, and further complicate the moderating staff's job.
We (the moderating staff) are competent enough to see which thread is garbage, and which isn't (and at the same time, a thread that started out as a pointless one can easily be turned into a meaningful one with one reply), we don't need a bunch of crybabies complaining at the very sight of an off-topic post. If you don't like what you see in a thread, click that back button, and either wait for the staff to clean it up, or let it die slowly into oblivion.
