This is a tricky subject and I agree that posts in threads often wander off into wider territories which go well beyond the original title (as this is a SPEEDO forum something I know which annoys Louis for one).
I do not think this is necessarily a bad thing to be banned however , as the opportunity may be lost to learn something of associated interest (which I have enjoyed on many occasions).

In his short period of membership afewgoodmen has produced 131 posts and 30 new threads - and I would suggest that unnecessary repetition of new threads (even if "start fresh" is considered appropriate) is going to cause considerable confusion, now and in the future.

As an historical note the old speedofantasyboard comprised completely random posting but Mike revamped everything to conform with all other discussion websites on the internet and the various forums are now incorporated as we see - and have (hopefully) become accustomed to by now.
This will be nothing surprising to recent new members but older members will know that there was no previous categorisation and there was some scepticism as to the changes and a lack of freedom to post at the time (and sadly, some loss of regular contributors along with that).

It is now November 2013 so some website statistics after two years of operation:

Membership is now 723
Posts submitted overall are 7110
New threads started are 935
(of which 526 are from the speedo chat forum alone and taking three pages to list)
