So start a thread about something else. ;) Not enough politics threads to warrant their own subforum. Plus some threads fall into the realm of more than one "category", i.e. might be about politics and religion.

The politics is big now, but in a year there'd be nothing on the forum.

Well can we have a sub-forum dedicated to politics, religion, and social, moral and ethical issues then?

Or perhaps a sub-forum for spam.

What I don't understand are McCain supporters? I mean, who in their right minds would vote Bush in for a third term? #-o

But to have a separate forum for just politics...that's ludicrous!

Could do, although spam was the bedrock on which this part of the forum was founded, and I think it would be a betrayal of our heritage and our fallen comrades to purge the main section of Off-Topic Topics of it's spam and move it to it's own sub-forum.

Yeah... this place is for real-world discussion, and spam. If you remove the real-world discussion, then all you have is a spam forum. And how pointless is that?

You mean Clinton supporters? Do you think that they will vote Republican, or switch to McCain?

The OT forum actively existed before an election year and it'll continue to be just as active after the election year. That we have a spike in political threads now is just that, a temporary spike, not a reason for a subforum. Most of the convo is within a small number of threads.

Yeah, we'll be far too concerned about how we will get our next meal then to worry about missing turns or how long is the longest thread now?
