I remember one of the first topics I ever made was about a video game and the responses were along the lines of, "this isn't the place for that," when the only thing I could think of is, "general discussion isn't the place for...general discussion?"
Your butt is the place for general discussion.

Having a section for general discussion doesn't mean that we ought to accept deliberate topic derailments and obvious trolls as commonplace. What do you think this is, the United Nations?

ahh you're right, after re-reading your post it looks like I misunderstood what you meant; you were advocating supporting more interesting discussion here whereas I was interpreting it as "take that elsewhere", my bad.
I still thing we need a chip chat playground though
I like the idea of a playground, too.

minusbaby's post seems to suggest that there isnt interest in that on the part of the mods and that "there are other places", but unless this is an intentional effort to fragment the scene, i think thats exactly the problem right now. CM.o *should* be the go-to spot for chiptune-related discussion, not just an uncluttered front page. the lack of a centralized hub hurts the scene, trolls or not.
How is not wanting to see random images of hedgehogs in an otherwise good thread and threads begun by impostors an "intentional effort to fragment the scene"? I think you may be mistaking administration for tyranny.

To address the original topic... while I understand that the bulk of active users here are close friends on- and offline therefore this forum ought to closely reflect that fact, it's really not meant to be a free-for-all chit-chat site; otherwise the name and URL wouldn't have been so specific to its purpose: chip music. We have IRC for trolling, creating in-jokes, exercises in stream of consciousness and other stuff not directly related to chip music. It's even in real-time. Science.
Besides, if you feel that there aren't enough interesting topics here, the only real solution isn't to succumb to nonsense like the Black Eyed Peas did after releasing "Bridging the Gap", but to promote and instigate interesting stuff like De La Soul have been doing since 1989.

BLIP FESTIVAL MEMORIAL COMPILATION
Wait, are you really showing up in front of Peter Swimm and others who worked on, with and for TCTD to promote as TCTD? Furthermore, in front of those who worked on, with and for Blip Festival? Do you realize how mind-boggling this is?

I didn't mean for things to get morbid. I just didn't think that attaching "RIP" after the name of someone we haven't heard from in nearly two years was grounds for humor, so I asked. I'm glad it just turned out to be a wack joke.
