Threads Going Off Topic

**Midwest Player** · 02-24-2018, 07:50 PM

It seems just about every thread eventually goes off topic. After the first 4 or 5 replies the thread goes off on some tangent completely unrelated usually social in nature. This doesn't happen at BJ21 and I wonder if it is because this site doesn't have a social board.

I know Norm doesn't want politics and religion, but I do think a social forum would help. BJ21 has both a social and politics forum. Any thoughts.

Theres no person so stoic a message board forum cant make them an adhd maniac mouth-farting an asinine stream of irrelevant conscience

He was referring to me. It's unfortunate that his eloquence is sub standard. He did declare a truce, which leads us to consider his new nick - Two Tounge English Pig Dog. He speaks with forked tongue.

People are like walking cliche generators - a forums audience combined with anonymity gives people the chance to break out of that stifling modus operandi by allowing them to shout otherwise prohibited nonsense into the digital wind

Thats how you get a dusty ol middle class fucking canuck yacking about his saggy ass balls

This thread didn't have a chance. It went off topic from the start.

So ALL of my 1 liners are going to get reported? Geez.

No, think it will be me. You'll have to carry the torch regarding the FBM ASC.

This is ironic. I am going to ask my first ever BJ question, and I am doing it on a non-BJ thread (about off topic posts). If I wanted to add a side count to my present hilo count, what should I consider?

**Meistro123** · 02-25-2018, 04:12 PM

If you are playing double deck you could benefit from a side count of aces.

**SpikeBJ** · 02-25-2018, 04:14 PM

6 decks for me

**Meistro123** · 02-25-2018, 04:19 PM

Do not side count for a six deck game, instead focus on finding a heads up game where you can play really fast.

Only exception would be the FBM ASC.
Seriously though, speed trumps side count. Unfortunately, the concept is compromised by dealer quality.
