The "no hijacking threads" rule usually exists for the Questions and Answers forums, for example, the AQ Q&A forum rules has a "No Hijacking" rule (see point 7). This is because hijacking tends to take place in threads asking game-related questions -- "Hey, by the way, how good is <some other weapon not related to the original poster's question>?"
The Comprehensive Forum Rules does not have a rule explicitly stating that thread hijacking is not allowed; however, off-topic posts are usually deemed spam and deleted ("Spam is anything that is not directly related to the topic at hand, as well as any additions to a post that are deemed superfluous and unnecessary.") Furthermore, it should be common sense that hijacking a thread would be rather disrespectful towards the original thread starter (the degree depending on the circumstances, of course) and that it can cause the thread to veer off-topic very quickly. Basically, unless there is an official/tagged thread, it would be better to start your own thread, particularly when asking a question.
