If you have nothing to discuss, why bump a dedicated character thread in a forum dedicated to 'Story, Campaign & Characters'? Why is that more friendly and reasonable than say moving your off-topic chatter to the relevant sub-forum? Serious question.
Do you ever question your way of thinking? Do you really belief that it is a matter worth debating? Do you actually belief that every single thread should bow to your wish so that you don't have to adapt, instead of you adapting?
In every single Character Fan Thread I've visited for a questions where I'm not regular, people will stop being off topic to actually welcome me to discussion & respond to my questions. Every. Single. One.
I'm a regular of some of these threads, as well as frequent visitor to the Off Topic. I can tell you these threads' member do police a lot themselves to avoid having a Mod giving out warnings.
And you're welcome to visit & ask any question, btw. You'll always get answers. Don't even bother searching in the thread. Just come with your question.
