it depends ... sometimes it can be annoying when your wanting a subject to be talked about (you started a thread so you obviously want to talk about it)
then if you have two or three pages of someone talking about something thats nothing to do with the thread you started you know that the discussion isnt going to go back onto what you wanted to talk about it can be frustrating
but if the dicussion that the thread was about has been finished with then i dont care

If someone is concerned enough about their thread, they can easily divert it back to the original.
However, often the hijacked thread is better than the original.
It should be regarded as a privilege if Cassidy hijacks your thread.
She can hijack me any day!

Highjack a thread? Me?
Never....no way...couldnt do it...
I think that unless it is a serious subject,who cares? I have seen others try to keep it on the subject when it was important,but I have seen these same people hijack others' threads too.
I think when you hijack a thread it is by accident. Usually though Tiger gives it back and we stop. Its hard to have a responsible partner sometimes.

So, how about those <insert pro sports team name here> ?
If it is a serious, trying to change subject kinda hijack, that sometimes drives me nuts...other times people bring up a valid point that is related to the topic but not the original. Those things happen. If the thread is a serious one, that requires debate..I think everyone should try to stick to the issue.

...and then, I went to the grocery and ran into someone I once fucked and then, we talked and it lead to this which lead to that and
BTW, Juicy lips.....is that what you mean? LOL
I have hijacked and had threads hijacked. I don't mean to do it and don't mind being hijacked, as long as they take me away and blindfold me and then.....
Too much coffee. I have to lay off the coffee.....my thoughts are in a random swirling mess!
Many times a hijacked thread adds a little something, entertainment, a new train of thought, etc. As with having coffee with a group of friends, teh conversation can just take a life of it's own.

Is a thread a conversation?
If so, it will wander like a conversation does, as people let the associations come out into the light.
If a thread is a lecture, the lecturer has a certain control over the directions it goes, but if nobody listens to a lecture it either dies or evolves into something that holds the attention.
It's not always easy to steer a thread; I'd venture it's harder to maintain control over them than it is to guide a conversation given the differenes in the mechanics/process of participating. Go to sleep for a few hours and the thread may wander far astray indeed.
What happens here is very dynamic. Typically I learn the most interesting things when a thread has taken a turn I wouldn't anticipate... it is the diversity of perspectives and experiences which breathes life into the topics, no matter if they stay tightly tied to the opening post or not.

Hijackings are sometimes, as has been noted, really interesting. I've done them and cheered to see it done.
The only two cases of hijacking that i don't like, the only ones that will make me leave a thread and not go back, are when two people talk back and forth for more than a couple posts like the thread is their own private IM. That's annoying and boring.
Secondly, if there's a good (serious or not) discussion going on and someone suddenly decides to turn it into a ME! ME! ME! LET'S ALL TALK ABOUT WONDERFUL ME! kinda thread. That, too, is annoying in a big way.
Otherwise - hijack away!
Those side trips are often very interesting.

I think if it's in the normal flow of a conversation, it's cool. Just like in real life when you're having a conversation, it shifts and changes into something else. What I do find marginally annoying is when someone's started a thread about some topic and two people comment on the actual topic, then the next 30 posts are '
You can touch my ass anytime'...
'Well give me those directions to your place and I'll be on your front steps.'...
'Naked?'...
'You know it baby.'....
Flirting is fine but it seems like about 70% of the threads seem to degenerate into that sort of thing and many of them very quickly, which basically makes them all the same thread. Rather boring, in my opinion.

I agree with sexy-girl
I think i'm guilty of hijacking a few threads.
but i it bothers me? depends on what the thread is and how long and when the hijacking starts.
if it's a serious thread and someone posts a few posts to each other on unrelated subjects Idont' mind, now if they go for pages on a serious thread then it bugs me. If it's a simple runaround thread, bah do what you want that's what those threads are for right?

I usually try to keep in line with a plot that's going when I post. However, if I'm posting to one of those threads that somebody started and put a good title on and chose not to put any work into, I'll smack the plot something good.
If there's a well-to-do story going on, nothing bugs me more than a diversion. However, if someone starts a thread and gives it no direction, it's your job to help. On my first ever thread, this was the case. I started a thread with an idea, but no plot consideration. Someone else added something and we went from there.
So sayith the Bobo

I try not to do that on other peoples threads. Unless I know them really well and they don't mind.
Sometimes I get carried away and then here I am naked, drunk and begging...sigh....
I have apologized for taking over a thread, but we have more voyeurs here than you think who like to watch the more intense and graphic forms of flirting..

just a thought
I like to think of the GB as a big party. I think of each thread as a small group of people standing in a circle and sharing a conversation. Each conversation will be different, some will be light, flirting and teasing. Some of the conversation circles will be serious social or political discussions. Some groups might even be arguing with each other. At this party, there will also be couples, threesomes or moresomes almost whispering sexual inuendo.
Many people will walk by each of the conversation circles and listen. Some will make a comment and move on, while some will become involved in the conversation. Many will just listen and remain silent.
If you interact with each thread on the GB just like you would interact with each of those "conversation circles" at a real party, you are not likely to cause a problem.
You would never walk up to a group at a party who were seriously discussing politics and interrupt the conversation by loudly flirting with one of the participants. You would never jump into the middle of a serious conversation circle and suddenly expose yourself.
At a real party, you would always listen for a few minutes before speaking, in order to gain an understanding of what that particular conversation was about.
At a real party, you would not jump into a conversation circle and try to change the topic. If you had been a key part of the conversation for awhile, you might try to shift the direction of the conversation, but not if you had just entered the circle.
I know, there are always a few people at a real party who get drunk and just crash into every group at the party to get attention. If that person is "pretty" enough or "popular" enough, they get away with it, but it is never appreciated.
This is just my way of thinking about the GB, sometimes there are several conversation groups (threads) that I find interesting. Sometimes there are none, so I just move from group (thread) to group listening until something interesting is said. Occasionally, when I am bored at this party, I see a friend who is not occupied, and we move out onto the patio (PM) for a private conversation.
It's a good party, and it never seems to stop. The people just keep changing. Oh yeah, there are sometimes a few fights, and they get loud for a little while, but eventually, everyone else breaks them up and the party goes on.
These are just thought..... take care

Nice post, Texan...almost enough to let me forget you are from Texas.(This is the type of thing hijacks are made of.)
I dont mind the hijack so much as the veer, when a topic worth discussing gets sidetracked and the point is lost and cant seemingly be recovered. Often this is a result of a personal tone or an overly combative nature. When a serious thread meanders around but touches on topic, its often informative and a great exploration of an idea.

hahaha.... see my problem???
Thanks for the compliments... but if I respond very much to your comments.... (like Cym's comment about the thread from last summer).... Then I'm likely to change the direction of this thread.... That is very natural to do.... and it would be a hijack.

Re: hahaha.... see my problem???
I have always said that when I start a thread it is like asking people into my home. They wonder from room to room discussing various topics, just like Texan said.
It is just my fault that I end up in the bedroom most of the time and forget about the rest of the party
Unless you are being mean and vindictive, it is impossible for me to get mad about changing the subject of one of my threads.
