If all else fails and it is a topic that is near and dear to your heart starting a new thread is always an option.

Besides a thread veering off topic adequately for a moderator to call attention to it will either correct itself or you can lock it up so the perpetrators will have to start over. IMO, given the opportunity, some of these troops will purposely move a thread off topic if that will get it moved to a place of lesser attention

This could be a place to get some good ideas discussed even with the imposed severe restrictions. It would fail miserably should you turn it into a trash basket for those that wish to have certain thread opposing discussions in plain view.

Fail miserably? Hell, it hasn't gotten off the ground far enough TO fail yet...

Well, there is an Al-Qaeda thread in the Clubhouse if the topic didn't catch your attention... maybe I wasn't making enough noise... unless of course if you tell me you're satisfied that it's RC related, and you might choose to move it to the 1/2A or E-plane forum, otherwise it's just another hawk's thread.

For older threads, there was one of what was termed as a "cool" video of American weapons firing away and George W. Bush in his speech. Believing it would be much welcomed, I think it would be in order to move it here so that it can be watched by many. You locked that thread last time if that helps you locate it.

HAWK I was talking about those that advocate aggresiveness, didn't mean your personal style.
