oh I didn't realize this was a real discussion.
Da Shuffla, this is a regional thread, it's mostly just a social forum for players from that region to discuss whatever they please and foster a community. There are Melee Discussion Boards and Character Specific Boards for in depth tactical discussion of the game, and admittedly, even in those, sometimes it goes off topic, but it's still alright so long as the discussion actually lets players build relationships with other players.
If you want to discuss Melee, discuss Melee, it's not like anyone's gonna shoot you down for asking about something to due with Melee in these boards, but that doesn't mean that when there's a lack of a better topic they'll shift their conversation to something else just so they have something to talk about as a community. I dunno, it seems pretty counterproductive to essentially come into the thread just to point out that people who met via Smash are posting about not-smash on Smashboards. Like, what's the problem with that? You want to talk smash, talk smash, but don't go picking fights because people use smashboards for topics other than smash (especially regional threads).
