Being a C.O. is very rewarding. It is well worth the effort that it takes. The Vintage forum is a wonderful place, and being a C.O. here, watching it grow and develop is very satisfying.
Hmmmm. let me say that again, I just need to...
The feeling of friendship and respect here is just wonderful. Thanks to you all.

^I'm not sure I am getting clear signals on the Politics sub forum. Let me set out the three choices.
1. Leave it as is.
2. Close the subforum and send all discussions of politics and current events to the S2ki Politcal forum which is an entirely seperate forum on S2Ki.com.
3. Close the subforum, but let folks talk about current events so long as the topic does not become political. I think we do some of this now folks, so it isn't like something far out. Take a look at Ralper's thread about the Amish girls who were shot.

I have a suggestion about this. What if we eliminated the politics sub-forum but allowed the discussion of current events in the main forum. Any comments of a political nature would either be edited out of the thread, or the thread would get moved to the site's general politics forum if folks could not control themselves. Before answering, keep in mind that a presidential election is right around the corner.
Either leave the sub forum where it is or kill it. I believe you and I are in the same camp on what to do with the Politics sub forum, so I'll leave it at that.
I think the forums should be kept seperate! It helps keep harmony within the group!

That is exactly how it should be. Having a separate Politics forum leaves too many out of the discussion. Close politics and allow current events here. If it becomes too heated, administer it.
That is how it worked before the last problem and there is no reason it can't work if everyone remains reasonable.

I vote we change the name of The Politics thread to The Toilet.
Gives moderators a chance to feel good about flushing
Maybe we could incorporate a poll regarding whether certains threads shoud go swimming.
It would be the VTF poll. (Vote to flush)

ps I'm serious. The Toilet could become a very popular place. It usually is with a Vintage crowd anyway.

But............ Didn't it become a problem and that is why the sub forum was created to begin with?
Before that it wasn't a problem

Only because of the presence of a few nondesirable members and a member or two who wanted to incite.
