    What exactly does "Off Topic" mean?...

    Yesterday I posted a link to a headline article that I saw on the front page of the New York Times online--top headline on the FRONT PAGE! In fact, as I type, it is still present on the front page of nytimes.com. The article is about "fully regimental" hikers in the snowy Alps. My reason for posting it here was because of the MANY photos of XMTS kilties posing in their snowy climes. To me it was a lighthearted affirmation that a wool kilt is indeed plenty warm enough for snowy climes.

    Unfortunately, it immediately got pulled. So, Mods and everyone else, what is the "criteria" for "Off Topic" posts?

    Even if the thread is in Off Topic, it must adhere to the forum rules, your thread yesterday did not therefore it was pulled for moderator scrutiny. As it is I am sure it will not be back, as the photos though small were of naked men hiking through the snow, not kilties fully regimental as you so quaintly put it, nudity or links to nudity are basically not allowed on the forum due to the fact that we strive to make this a Family friendly forum. I would also like to ask that the next time you have a question for a Moderator, please PM one of us instead of posting here, that is what the PM system is for, and with that
