I'm with you dude!  I'm thinking this trend is for the cool kids to feel popular with the fact they have an official thread titled with the word thread.

Also, get off my lawn you damn kids!!!!

The thing I find amusing, and puzzling, is the insistence some people have—and this is not unique to this forum—of dubbing threads "official" on a forum that is, due to being unaffiliated with the organization, an "unofficial" forum. I think a lot of people who post on the Internet have some kind of misguided love of the word "official" and think using it lends credibility to things. I saw something a few months ago where someone said DC United had announced Buzzard Point as "the official stadium site." How could there possibly be an "unofficial stadium site"?!

Most of the times when people use the word "official" they are joking.

Right, real "official" threads have the word Nazi in them.
