I didn't want to debate this right out in front of the general posting population :), so I thought we'd discuss it here.
From the ET thread:
... we post off topic stuff in the box office forum all the time. (Look at the World Series thread.)
Umm, the World Series isn't off topic IMHO. The forum is titled SW Boxoffice & Other Entertainment, and in my mind the latter states that the forum is for entertainment in general, which would include things like sports, games, books etc. etc.
Whilst I understand how you wanted to relate your thread to ANH Jedieb, I dispute its placement since the general topic in your thread that I'm seeing is really about ET and the changes made in the Special Edition - it ought to go in the BO forum IMHO. The SW Films forum is for just that - the SW Films.
EDIT: the same issue gets raised in regards to the AOTC Trailer thread in BO. I had a very brief skim of it (not wishing to be spoiled) but I think it ought to be in SW Films since it refers to the Episode 2 film.
Not wishing to make a big deal about it, but with traffic likely to increase from now on I'd like to have it cleared up as to what belongs in what forum now whilst traffic is still low (I don't want to go through a disagreement like last year with the OOC forum where everyone had their own opinion on what was IC and what was OOC :\).
Please give me your thoughts on the matter. My opinions are necessarily correct, but that was my understanding on where threads should be posted.
