That being said, I doubt there‘s much chance of [Serious] threads taking over the Forum. If it should appear to be trending that way, never fear - I’ve got thousands of horrible jokes on tap lighten the mood.

Yes, and I understand what you and Shell B are saying. And I'm saying, go right ahead. (Not that you need my blessing!)
I just wanted to let you know I'm personally not a fan of such subrules, and will therefore probably not participate to begin with. (Which I guess works out for whoever makes a [serious] thread.)
Others can and should do as they damn well please. I know I can choose not to post in a thread.
I kind of just wanted it out there, because if you make such a thread I'll ignore it. Even if it is a topic of interest to me.
Not that I think people here are waiting for my two cents in particular. But seeing as I'm not going to go into a [serious] thread and say 'I'm not posting any further because this is a [serious] thread, though your topic is interesting and I have certain views on it', I just wanted to state my opinion here, and leave it at that.
Fair enough - no one is required to participate in any thread.
Shame, though - I think you have a lot to offer.
