Not almost every post.  People do post their life questions there, and the topic maker PMs them.  He bumps the topic by quoting RewTheBrave's post about not spamming.  I see that quite a few of the posts are off topic, but not even 50%, and definitely not all.  Because most of the discussion is done via PM for privacy, you do not see a large portion of the on-topic mentoring.
I can see posts on every page that are relevant to the thread.  If you see spam posts, report them.  The reason it was closed in Graphics Design was because the entire community was posting off-topic things there, and because it is NOT a chat forum, just a graphics design forum.  General chat is for general discussions/threads that don't belong in other places.  That's just about the only place it could go.

About that quoted text:  If Graphics users used the thread for 'topics of interest' that were related to graphics, it would be still up.  Posts about completely different things should be in general chat.  It wouldn't be fair if one group of people had a 'random discussion thread' that was only about their lives/things that happened in it, it has to be only Graphics, otherwise it belongs in a different sub-forum or General Chat.
