Quite often there will be a sensible post made relating to a Stag (or other important issue), when all of a sudden something will be said in a reply that will send the thread completely off topic.

I think our Forum gets it just about right, with little interference until things start to get out of hand, and this makes the Stag Forum so good. What do you think?
