News & Politics

They’re not ripping on you for your suggestion, they’re just stating the facts. I mean, imagine if there was no N&P forum for those who want to discuss those topics. That all would come splashing over the dyke into all of the other forum topics. When I was a mod here, I would occasionally have to visit that forum, but never really had to police them. For all of the division in this world, they were actually pretty well mannered. Let it be, steer clear of the forum, and visit and participate in all of the other forums.
A number of years ago I was a Moderator on an Audio site that shall go unnamed, and much like here they had an "off-shore" forum (my term) for news & politics. Worked out great, for years.

Until one day the owner of the site decided to close that forum down....

Guess what? All of the "****" rolled over into the General Forums area, end result being they lost a lot of members, myself included.

To @toolmanmike (we've met), the other Mods, and @Joeychgo (we've not met): In my humble opinion, please learn from the mistakes of others, and leave the N&P right where it's at.
