For some reason Cracker seems more dominant in that area. The forum for politics is third in line - so by the time you get there, it seems a bit dead. Maybe it should be on the first page.

Is the first forum (general) for politics in general ?
The last one (politics suck) for when they are bad ?
The chat for stuff like pets, etc etc??

For me, politics is not everything, seems endlessly pointless and with no "conclusion" to it ?
Sort of like meetings !!!!

people sort of come and go too. Good chat site all in all. No wonder tv is fast losing its appeal !

The first one is for politics in general - ie the issues. The third one is for the people and parties. I separated them because the partisan issues often get in the way of frank discussion of the real issues. This is especially true around election time. People try to trash the views of people from parties they don't like, but don't get into any depth on the actual issues.

I think that the new influx of religion has been a factor in changing things in here.

Its not just confined to one thread, those doing it are spreading it thru all threads which changes the tone of threads never meant to take on a religuos aspect. This is irritating certain pple who now may be less inclined to enjoy the environment which was here previously.

Go home Bible bashers!!!!!

Tel it to someone who cares

member run boards
Reply #28 - Apr 4^th, 2007 at 11:06am

The idea behind the member run boards is for members to have their own boards for topics that are of interest to them. The board moderators will be responsible for moderating the boards. They will work on a 'survival of the fittest' basis - if the board is not well hosted then people will not use it.

This sort of board is especially useful for topics that don't get a lot of 'forum activity.' If members have a strong interest, they can try to keep discussions in one place where they won't get bumped down the thread list.
