we need the seperate boards... if any board should go, it's the SP board.... it's a piece of shit, and contributes absolutely 0. but i guess the SP board will be useful, <i> if </i> the new album actually comes out.

I don't think the politicians would appreciate their debates being opened up to the random general forum retard that might otherwise steer clear of the politics forum. For this and other reasons, merging would be a terrible idea.

I know you jest, but this is akin to saying "People who don't discuss politics should not vote."

The politicians you refer to are all the useless, pretentious, pieces of crap. Any politician that actually wants to do anything for the full benefit of society knows that politics should be discussed right alongside any other matter of life.

Consider a merging of the politics board with this one to be a service to your personal education.

yes. why the hell was a politics board created in the first place? wasn't it because of the presidential election? nowadays, a sports board would get more action than a politics board. I would merge the SP/music board and the general chat/politics board.

i like this idea because then the overall board quality wouldn't run the risk of being spread too thin with just one mega board. we would have to merge the pumpkins board too though.

with things the way they are now, it's easy to get a glance at a bunch of music topics. music threads are significantly less active than threads on the general board, and it'd be nearly impossible to see them at a quick glance if the boards were merged

I'm not jesting. I don't post in there because I know I'm not as politically inclined as others and would just ruin threads (unintentionally). I think if those threads were run in this forum where would be way more ruining of threads by people. I'm not saying that stupid people can't GO to the politics forum and learn things there, like it seems like you're suggesting. I go in there and read sometimes but I don't post. I'm just saying that if you keep em separated then there's less chance of every thread going to hell like in the gen forum. I'm just trying to show some respect to you political types. If you want to merge and have your threads go to hell then that's your perogative.

Let me know if I didn't answer well and I'll try again.

I like it the way it is. I like the fact that the other two forums act as a filter for this board. If anything, we could use a sports board. If you're going to merge this board, you might as well merge the Gentlemen's Club and whatever other boards there are.

There'd be too much to weed through if all the boards were merged.

true. the only thing i can say to counter this is that maybe a merged board would somehow initiate people to speak more freely about music, thus creating more threads based on the subject.

but regardless, this just goes to say... let's talk more about music, people!!


this is coming from someone who has only posted like 4 times in that past month, however

All I need is to see thirty threads about how the newest piece of shit band's album is totally rockin' or how Bush fucked something up but idiots are rushing to his defense purely to save face. As if I need to spread my liberal propaganda in this board as well, all the while wishing people would shut up about some blowful indie band that plays music that sounds identical to every other awful group out there.

If I had my way, we would actually ADD boards, thus refining the posts on this one to exclude certain parties and threads I don't like.

If it is possible to win arguments by changing their subjects, then we'd all be winners and brilliant children of the spoken and written word. But, I declare, those who change arguments into spelling and grammar contests have truly lost. Arguments are won by principle alone. If you think you've won a debate because you said all of your stupid points correctly, then you're a fool.

paedophilia/manga/youtube/paul hem forum

politics/current events forum

sports board

gentleman's board

reproductive problems/clothing/decorating forum

people who hate the smashing pumpkins board

people who love the smashing pumpkins board (also traders forum)
