I see this all the time.  Someone will make a thread about whatever and add a game that has a title that sounds vaguely in the same ballpark as the thread topic.  I think this is pretty dumb.  It's not a huge deal but I really don't see the attraction.  What gives?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Ask the people who do it directly!

You just did it. Ask yourself.

Why do people make threads regarding people on the site and how they use site functions correctly, but don't put the thread in the correct 'Site Discussion' section?

AHA!  I was going to do that, but on reviewing the subsections in that forum it didn't seem like my thread fit any of them: 

Announcements:  Important network news and announcements are posted here.
No.
Website Issues:  Website issues. Report problems and bugs with the site, tell us what you like and don't like and suggest improvements. 
Not a bug or problem.  I guess it is something I "don't like" but I thought that was if it was directly something about the website. 
Website Feedback:  Have feedback? Tell us what you like, don't like, and suggest improvements.
Ditto. 
Introduce Yourself:  New members and long time lurkers can introduce themselves in here
Obviously not. 

So Mr. Moderator, which subsection was the most appropriate one for my thread? 

While I've got your ear, please add a period after "here" in Introduce Yourself.  All the other descriptions in the Website Forum get a period so that one should too.  Actually, though, I see that the whole list of descriptions is not standardized with respect to this, so please just go down the line adding periods, or, if you must, taking them away.

I do it just as a little extra, sometimes you have to click through a lot of games to find just the right one. I have eased off the tagging some political topics though. By the way this is the third thread on this in 3 days.

Really?  I didnt see any of them!  I'll have to check to see which forums they were posted in :3
