PIPA, SOPA, & websites with blackouts

That argument is going nowhere, fast.

Madison's point is that there is a time and a place for everything. A website like ChiefDelphi is one for serious discussion, not memes (save the FIRST meme thread.) Trying to keep a professional aura about you and your posts/content is a very valuable skill to have, and arguing in the manner quoted with a well respected member of the CD community is not a good way to do that.

Just remember, CD is a very fun environment, but this thread is for serious discussion and CD is very good at keeping on topic. As previously mentioned, we aren't 4chan (though I prefer reddit.)

Memes have their place ... somewhere. It isn't here.

ChiefDelphi isn't 4Chan; it is a place to exchange ideas and learn new skills with some very busy, very talented professionals. Don't waste their time.

I thought the point of the Chit Chat area was for stuff like this.

It is. When I want to relax at school I go to chit chat. If there is going to be rules against being off topic on an off topic board then I'm going somewhere else
