Should the following Threads be moved to the Shrapnel General Section

IMHO any thread that benifits the SE community by stimulating social interaction, is by definition "On-Topic".

Yes, I'm wicked, but in a good way!

Yes, David's Avatar thread is a good example of a topic which straddles "off topic" and "on topic" although it can be argued that it is technically OT, having little to do with SE4 gameplay.

It could also be argued that a player's 'identity' is part of SE gameplay and my avatars help to solidify those identities while they are visiting here in the forums!

..am I good or what? LOL

No, the title is SE4. There is nothing that says that is the only subject that can be discussed. So technically, you are wrong.

Yes, the title is SE4.

So, technically, it should be SE4 topics. But I was not being technical and had no problem with non-SE4 Posts.

So, you are wrong again.

No, the title does not force the topics into that specific subjects. That is not how forums operate. I am not going to go in another circular arguement with you because you will not ever admit you are wrong, even when you are obviously wrong. So, consider this over.

Who said anything about forcing the topics into specific subjects?

All I said was that technically, it should be SE4 topics. And as you know, I personally have no objection to non-SE4 Posts (within limits...like I wouldn't like pornography to be posted).

So, wrong again.

I find very cool and very intelectually stimulating to have SE4 and OT threads in the same forum, though I agree that the OT label should always be on the name of Off Topic threads.
