For what my 2 cents is worth as a fairly regular poster and reader here, I personally don’t really care much for the off-topic personal convos. I think if there’s already off topic threads about weddings, engagements and babies etc then it’s probably best suited for there and anyone who wants to go read that stuff can but people who just want to read and chat about Brogie can do so here?I love hearing what everybody is up to e.g marriage, new babies, new jobs and houses etc. Loads of people have announced things on here because we all chat to each other and sometimes it’s easier to talk to people online. I don’t think OP meant to upset anybody by sharing her news. If people are going to be triggered then let’s just put spoilers but I don’t think we go off topic that much do we?
Sorry I sound a bit like a grinch but I just come for the Bogie when I read this thread I’m not really one for making internet friends but totally appreciate a lot of people do so maybe an off topic thread would be good for people to breakout into when there’s some big news or if Bogie inspires (heaven forbid) some off topic chats like mortgage advice etc.
