Title: Political threads now have their own subforum
Post by: hgjs on September 23, 2008, 07:50:24 PM
A politics subforum has been created.  New threads about politics should go there; a number of existing threads have also been relocated to the new subforum.

This is a trial-measure. We'll see if it actually does anything. Frankly, I'd be happy if it just stopped the whining.

Also, I'm still strongly considering purging the politics subforum every six months or so.  If we do that, the first purge will probably be a couple of weeks after the U.S. election.  Most politics threads tend to become old news anyways.

It would be nice to wait until after the US elections as you say. Mixed amongst the crap is some good sources. I agree that purging it is a good thing.

Does this include posts from those who whine about feminazi abortion clinic techs who believe that everybody has a fundamental right to live?

Sounds like a good plan.  Wouldn't want the stale discussions mucking up up to date stuff.  There are plenty of places on the internet to research older topics if you need a reference.
