Here's a thought ... not necessarily a good one ... but a thought nonetheless.

Why not make a completely separate forum section for religion and politics?

That way, folks don't have to be bothered if they don't want to be. I figure it'll get used based on all of the religious/political threads there are on a daily basis in General, so why not give it its own place? Maybe a subset of General or somesuch.

First of all, this should be in Technical or Moderation, not General.

And this has been discussed ad nauseum and Sal and the rest of the mods have made it pretty definitively clear that they don't want General to spread it's slimy tentacles elsewhere. One General is enough.

Awww, c'mon. I NEED more general.

Pfft ... nit picker. General means everything, so everything belongs here. :p

Well that's just lazy talk.

Just imagine what would be left behind if we moved the religion and politics threads elsewhere. I think that thought should be horrifying enough to persuade you that it would be a bad idea.

we'd have, sports, humor and soft drinks...

Perhaps it's "lazy talk", but it's been discussed by the mods more than once, and I believe that they've come to the same decision every time, that it isn't going to happen. Take it up with them if you believe so fanatically that it's a good idea.

I believe in grassroots efforts. I always go to the people first.

Paradise Club 75 and polls about soda, I imagine. Then again, I'd probably stay in the religion/politics area.

My guess is that general would become the next Forum 7, which is fine by me.

Neat! We've moved. Love the new digs ...

Been discussed before - isn't going to happen.
