Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
As is common in any Internet forum, threads at SkirtCafe go off-topic from time to time. For example, a thread might start out being about Irish tartans and end up discussing Coke vs. Pepsi vs. 7-up. This is all OK, as long as the off-topic conversation does not violate basic SkirtCafe standards of mutual respect and decency. (And please keep in mind that just about any topic is fair game for the "Other Stuff" category).
It is important to understand that this is a public forum, and no one "owns" a thread --- just like no one "owns" airspace if a conversation wanders at a party. If anyone here would like to own a thread, that should be done in a blog format. SkirtCafe would be happy to link to blogs of its members.
Finally, if you feel a thread has gone off-topic and would like it to get more on-topic, the baristas (moderators) have the option to split the thread. This is not an infrequent occurrence on some boards, and it really does help when reading posts. You need only drop a PM to a barista (or use the email address at the top of this page), and we will be happy to split the thread.

this has precisely nothing to do with getting skirted garments accepted on men in day-to-day life.
Fantasy football (of whatever ilk) is a fine and good way to pass one's hours, but let's please keep SkirtCafe on-topic and on-mission.
Please clarify just what the purpose of the "Off Topic" (formerly "Other Stuff") thread is and what are appropriate subjects are to post on this thread.
Please don't take this wrong. I am not challenging anything or making fun of anything. I'm just perplexed
Thanks

There are times that it is very evident that some posters do not read the section of the forum they are posting in.
I have been chewed out for posting about leggings in the other stuff forum, and about pantyhose in the freestyle fashion sections.
We have these sections for a purpose. I personally have not posted anything in the kilts only section cause I don't like or wear kilts. However I have had kilt wearers respond to my posts in the skirt section of the forum, saying the only male skirt is the kilt (one instance long ago).
When other stuff got changed to off topic, I had a feeling something like this was going to happen.
We just need to pay a bit more attention to the section we are posting to.
