(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I have noticed lately that the word "Official" has been popping up a lot and has seemed to have lost its meaning.

To sum up, if you are still reading, the only way a topic can be official is if an Admin, or a Mod, approves the topic to be official.

Thanks for reading my long, boring but 100% needed rant.

Lol I don't disagree with you but it would be hypocrytical of me to bash people who do that.

You just put it in your TITLE.

Don't you think you should post a thread about "Misspelling titles of threads?"
