about off topic

I am wondering are we not allowed to post things that are off topic on this site ????even if we put in the title OT ??? I often like to hear about other things in peoples life.Heck the people on these boards are just about the only friends I have

I'm still pretty new to this board, but I thought if you put "OT" in the title that it stood for "off topic" and that this was fine. I'm anxious to hear from more experienced board members, too, on whether this is so.

I go to the lap band forum daily and they do it all the time - with an OT in the header. I have actually learned quite a bit on other topics by reading those. I also like to see what else is going on in people's lives and enjoy giving support on topics other than weight loss. Pam

I love getting to know the people on here and not just discussing weightloss issues all of the time. You guys are like a little family to me because I feel like I know you as people not just other patients. Ya know what I mean??? It is fine to put other stuff on here. The OT is just to let others know that it doesn't pertain to WLS. Hugs, Jaimee
