Default Threads being 'hijacked' ...

It seems that this is happening all too often and I can understand the frustration of those asking genuine questions, seeking advise and help from members with experience and knowledge to help them.

I think it is very obvious who are responsible for this and once home from school find it highly entertaining, very sad.

Just a suggestion but perhaps if those with the answer to the question simply post their reply and ignore the posts trying to hijack or offering pathetic replies perhaps the individual will get bored and stop trying to cause problems - who knows they may even get on with their homework!!

Just a thought.

He can hijack me ANYTIME! Lol

I think it needed to be said as sadly the forum is becoming simply a playground for certain individuals and not what it was intended for.

Obviously these are just my opinions

I think that's a bit of a sweeping generalisation! I'm 14 but I've never intentionally hijacked a thread and I like to think that I have helped- at least in some small way- a few members on this forum...

Im guilty also, As habu said, sometimes it happens, its just the natural flow of a thread, if your not happy with the answer, just continue to ask, that what i do, or quote a relavent reply and continue it that way, i thinks its human nature, we probably do it in general coversations too
