Back in the day, if a thread was inspired by another thread... people might add "SPINOFF", "[SPINOFF]" or just "S/O" to the start of the thread. Then if someone spun a thread off of a spinoff, then the thread might start off with "S/O of S/O".

One day though, over half the threads on the page started with the word "SPINOFF" in one form or another! It made the page really hard to scan... so I finally committed to removing the word "SPINOFF" whenever it occurred at the start of a boards thread.

It's taken a year or so of editing here or there, but there are no longer any threads that start with SPINOFF, [SPINOFF] or S/O! Just thought I'd explain, in case anyone's wondering why sometimes a SPINOFF label has disappeared. We've been removing them to help with the readability of the site!
