Hey folks, a reminder for everybody, including myself:

It's cool to get conversations going in various threads, but when somebody makes a fanpost (or even main page post) the discussion should basically revolve around that post's topic.  Little side quips are fine every once in a while, but lately it's starting to be a guessing game whether you're going to read anything at all relating to the post at hand.

I understand completely that humor is a big part of the equation here, especially in the off-season.  I also understand that these familiar conversations contribute to a feeling of family and being at home here.  Both of those are good.  I, myself have engaged in as much silly comment banter lately as I have serious responses.  But not every thread should divert into those. 

A reminder also that the daily "Junk Drawer" fanpost is there for exactly this purpose.
