...which is why the Moderators have the power to move a thread from one forum to another. If a thread gets so derailed that there's no going back, it just gets moved over to the Off Topic forum. It works both in theory and in practice.
I am the head moderator over at a gaming forum with over 1550 registered Users (many of whom are younger than the average Dom II player), and it works for us.
