Re: Separate Politics/Current Events Section?
I request a 2nd forum in rants and raves. The random musing thread is neither a rant or rave and I can't control myself to open it or not so I'd rather it'd be in another forum where my likelihood of opening it is exactly the same. Thank you.

Re: Separate Politics/Current Events Section?
People are complainig about this switch? Really? This place was dying IMO and that was largely due to mega political threads consuming Social. Personally I think the more forums, the better. I think it stirs activity and chatter. Want to talk about movies or a TV show? Go to the movie and TV forum. Want to talk about a new album or a concert you just saw? Go to the music forum.

Re: Separate Politics/Current Events Section?
To be fair, nobody has been begging for a movie and tv forum for years. This, imo, is symptomatic of the complete political picture in America. We can't talk rationally about politics so we get terrible politicians.stlouie_lipp wrote:People are complainig about this switch? Really?

Re: Separate Politics/Current Events Section?
Completely agree with this. Although, I don't know how this relates to having a separate politics forum for the sake of keeping the board alive.docellis wrote:We can't talk rationally about politics so we get terrible politicians.stlouie_lipp wrote:People are complainig about this switch?

Re: Separate Politics/Current Events Section?
I missed the forum meltdown, so I can't speak to that, but my point is needing that separated and nothing else is a symptom of a bigger problem (not just here).stlouie_lipp wrote:Completely agree with this.

Re: Separate Politics/Current Events Section?
the inability for some to control their urges and NOT open a thread is hilarious to me.
i assume you take this as an attack on your character since this was your brainchild. trust me, its not.
