Perhaps some of the reasons are
on some relatively serious issues we get the regulars who think its amusing to go completely off subject and have some injokes with their cronies that the majority of members can't understand (if you want to amuse yourselves why not go on facebook etc)
why do some members feel they have to contribute to every thread with ramblings that add nothing to the thread
this thred starts by asking about accyweb and it develops into a discussion about the merits of plastic glasses rather than the merits of the website
I appreciate that the above comments may not be well received by the incrowd that hog everything on the site. ( I would guess there are no more than 30 people who post more than 90% of the posts)

I think you miss the point with your "injokes with their cronies" remark, which is empty rhetoric anyway, tossed in as critical, rather than as a neutral observation. Perhaps some of us, like myself, use the off-topic banter in order to put a face, a personality, onto a comment or argument. Take out the human interaction, and any thread would be drier than a soda cracker fart.
