Where the H did the old obscure thread go?!

Just wondering why the mod closed down the obscure thread. So what if there's an "official" off topic thread somewhere else. This is what pisses me off about the new format. Didn't I mention the gestapo on the last thread people?! Anyhow, this is to hopefully resurrect by far the most entertaining if short lived thread I've seen on here in months. Could we put this one to a vote please? Call it the silly thread if you want. It doesn;t have to be a redundant version of the "official" OT thread. Anyhow, join me people and resurrect the awesomeness of the last version!

It's not redundant at all. The Skybar is in the general forum area. This is in Local:Calgary.

Two entirely different audiences, two entirely different focuses (potentially).

I thought that was the entire point of the Local format.

I posted an image in that thread which pretty much sums it up.

That thread wasn't even a Check This Out thread or an off topic thread, it was basically spam where people posted in it for the sake of doing so. And on this forum, spam threads are done away with.

Perhaps for the most part. All I ask is that you give this thread one week to let the people decide where it might go. One week. If in one week it is literally just SPAM or no one seems to post or care delete it. If not, well... maybe we could do a vote.

The skybar off topic thread is an excellent example, if this thread were like that one, then it'll work out.

If there's no discussion taking place at one point in the thread it's not difficult to start any discussion that's relevant at the time, and people will respond.
