(edit: what I mean[in part] is that normally people don't talk to someone in one thread, before going to another thread if they want to talk about a side topic that isn't covered by the first thread)
To me, offtopic is fine if its rare and people stay on the topic for the most part.
I agree, that's just how conversations in general work especially online. If the conversation is about a specific problem then as long as the problem is getting solved then it does not matter but a topic about the Witcher, for example, could easily springboard into being about the show, the games, the books, the Lord of the Rings, Call of Duty, why the bums outside the inn in Witcher 2 know what a potato is, etc. Lastly, it's not like a verbal discussion where you cannot turn back the clock and read the more on topic posts and reply to them.
