Political sub-forum

[Dukasaur]

Still on vacation.

This topic deserves more attention than I'm willing to give it at the moment. Reserving my comment until next week. Hopefully early next week.

In my opinion, if you move Politics out of this Forum, it will likely die, a slow death (and perhaps a bit faster than CC will die out) with a whimper, and not a bang (Big or otherwise).

Politics is what many get passionate about, and there are few other such topics that inspire such passions. Religion already has its own Forum, more or less. I tried to get a discussion on key battles (and History) and that did not get much attention (which, for a war and battle site, surprises me). Cooking (and eating) has sparked a bit, but not much interest.

What is left, if Politics is out?

Gee, idk, movies, video games, board games, celebrity mishaps, drunk news, goofy life advice not to be taken serious. SPORTS?! There's a very BROAD spectrum of what people can talk about that isn't political. Use your imagination.

And no, it's not that i have a problem with either party(well, i do but that's besides the point), it's just seeing the same old fucking regurgitated shit about Trump, or Biden, or Harris, or "GaYS kiSSinG?! DA LEFT!" "DA RIGHT STOLE MAH NUT SACK!"

Seriously. It's the same 3 to 4 people who engage in this. Can't you dorks do what Hitred did? He at least keeps it in one thread, out of sight, out of mind.

DDS, this is so stupid and insincere.
You act like you have no understanding of what politics even is, ...though you obviously do practice it.

For example, you seem to be blithely unconcerned with censorship and care little for free-speech, ...but that is actually among the most pernicious of political stances.

[DirtyDishSoap]

How is moving a discussion into another area, censorship? That's absurd.

Ghettoize tourself, DDS.
In fact, OT Forums already has one. Its called Street Corner and so far both TG and Duk have avoided even explaining why it exists.
...but if you think it's a good idea, post there. See what kind of traffic you get.

[DirtyDishSoap]

It'd certainly pick up quite a bit.

Three key points here:

1) I think DDS does give Vot an answer to the one Religion Forum thread (Street Corner), separated OUT of THIS Forum.

2) Most other topics do not elicit much response or discussion, thus much of the discussion, good and not, will disappear here. That is true for nearly ALL that DDS suggests as topics for discussion. I did a sports thread and got LITTLE response, including the Paris Olympics in August. (It did get to page 4, so NOT bad.) I started other similar threads and have had little response there, too.

3) Politics has recently been banned from Global Chat. We do not need to Ban it in this Forum, too. One can pick and choose which thread to read.

[Pack Rat]

Fuk off DDS!

This forum can not be restricted. It covers all subjects including religion.

Heck, we even (DDS) discussed the subject of a glass that was filled 80% of water. Who would of thought it would be a popular subject.

Even HitRed the pastor, invokes God in this Forum, despite he has a forum dedicated to worshiping a God that is a narcissist and expects us to sacrifice and disfigure our penises...oooos wrong God.

I'm not asking for you to be restricted. I'm asking to move your 200 hundred threads of [place politican here] into its own political sub forim. That's it

And that cup of water thread was satire. It was meant to poke fun at you dorks because in EVERY thread, you guys start bringing it down into more political non sense.

This sums it up perfectly, ...and if that seems too obvious, then why make a fuss in the first place?

I now think we should separate the political and non-political. Because we have so many threads about politics in OT, it would be easier to move non-political threads to their own sub forum. I don't want to censor them though, I just don't want to see the non-political threads or the people who comment in them.

If politics turns you off...go to your beastiality porn site. Now stop your whining!

Real nice, DDS.
Fake-editing a quote, how 'low' can you go?
You sure you don't have an interest in politics??
Indeed, your cunning, political-lobbyist behavior in this thread shows more biting self-irony than anything you may have previously achieved with that metaphorical cup of water.

Anyway, the real solution is for you to just post Stupid Videos more frequently so that your beloved thread always stays near the top.
A most worthwhile and commendable effort, I might add.

THAT'S QUALITY CONTENT AND YOU KNOW IT YOU SILLY f*ck!

[kentington]

I don’t mind people misquoting me. At least DDS fully acknowledged the alteration.

I remember the Wild West days of this forum. Everything was just nuts.

DDS, I know you are advocating for removing politics, but don’t you think you will miss it a little bit? You were the first to bring politics into your cup of water thread. Also, who will you mock if there aren’t political arguments that go in circles?

[jonesthecurl]

I've just foed the main culprits so I don't have to read the same crap over and over.

Does that block threads posted by people as well? Or solely the individual posts?

[HitRed]

The Mods can MERGE threads.

All this election mania will pass soon enough, and then is back to about food and bitcoin.

Hmm?

jones is a blimey wanking sod.

Lets see if he read this.

[Pack Rat]

Move over Votanic, let me try.

Jones my long hair in a pony tail is much more natural and beautiful than your Rat Nest!

[HitRed]

From A Few Good Men.

Jones, you’re a lousy food critic.

[jonesthecurl]

Move over Votanic, let me try.

Hmm... a pony tail hanging from a horse's arse.

[Pack Rat]

Thank you for not foeing me. The other posters are obviously foed. At least Votanic might be right, as far as being foed and ignored.

You are the chosen one. The rest of us are either too ugly or our voices are too annoying to interest jonesthecurl.

From now on I will try to use duck lips and do the over my shoulder look.
