I like it when the conversation goes a bit (or completely) OT as you said it makes the forum so much more friendly and human :) As long as we can still allow putting on-topic reply's after going OT in case that's neccesary it's no prob in my opinion :) In fact the OT threads can be the most fun ones. I go OT in other forums on other sites sometimes too, never a prob.
