It refers to when someone starts a thread and then the thread is 'derailed' into being off-topic by other posters.
For instance if someone posted a thread w/ the title 'How do I increase my earnings?' and then people started posting about how great the Dark Knight was -- something that has nothing to do with what the OP wanted to talk about.
Generally it's rude.
Yeah, totally. Threadjacks can be fun and random and make threads longer, but sometimes a very good thread can get de-railed (like when a question turns into a giant debate about something the OP does not want to discuss) and should be made into a new thread. The more you post, the more you will notice if it's a good idea to start a new thread about something instead of post into another thread.![]()
Oh okay...I'll be sure to not do this![]()
