I can see why some people want to keep the small talk in the oversaturated threads, because their involved in it, i totally would too.
I understand both sides of it, but when you see the same thread on the first page all the time, for a week + you either stay away from it like a plague, or you whip through the 40+ pages created in a day if you can .
But after a long enough time, i agree that it should be booted, as it clogs up the room for some new fresh conversations that might bring in new people (like me).
As for the glass work by FDD, Its not just some shop or store selling, This guy learned a skill from scratch, as we watched and questioned here, and it got so popular that members started to ask if they were for sale, and the guy works here!! So many people asked that he actually had to head to etsy.
I don't intend to trash talk at all, but thats how i saw it unfold the last few weeks or so as a new member, i'm not the core of the family, but at least i'm a cousin.
