Politics sub-forum and/or literature sub-forum: THE POLL!!!!1one

Yes, so. There have been people talking about how it'd be a good idea to create a sub-forum for political discussions, since they tend to overflow the F4A every now and then.
Also, I'm not sure, either someone mentioned it to me or I had the idea myself, but anyway, there are people who agree with the idea of there being a sub-forum for literature. There aren't many threads about literature-related things right now, as we know, but I think more talk on the subject may happen if there's a separate section for it. A place to discuss books we read and do the (read: my) "I'm bored, so I'm writing a short story" thing, and so on.

[Clever finishing point]

No thank you. F4A will one day disappear because of all the sub-forums. ~_~

Or just rename this. Anything to get American politics and the name John Kerry out of my fucking way. :/

Ban politics.

I second that, actually. American politics at least. Read: No one cares!

Im sick of seeing political threads everywhere....

Keep all discussions in F4A, at least we can discuss something interesting here, or else we'd end up with pointless polls after polls on petty issues being the only things to read in F4A.

There was some sort of literature forum before at one time, wasn't a big success else it would still be here ;). So no to both.

We condensed the forums about a year back, we had a shed-load of various forums that were scant used...and after the initial novelty wears off I cant see this being any different. Admittedly, the whole Bush/Kerry debate is getting a little tiresome now, if only because of my ignorance to politics which rely less on decent agendas and more on PR spin-doctoring. In the UK there is probably more media coverage on the American Presidential election then there is our own, such is the bullshit hype that surrounds it.

Nice tangent there, I might add.

We'll have to bear with the Bush/Kerry discussions for another month, m8.

Yeah, after the election things will quite down.

This is the lamest peice of shit i have ever heard of. ;)

Wouldn't be too bad, but really where do you draw the line on politics? Most endeavors involving many people are political in nature.

I'll say no for the same reason I told Skinner8 earlier: We don't have enough threads for those topics to warrant an entirely new forum. There might be for the political ones, but those will drop off in a couple months.

Well, all settled then, isn't it?

*shrug* It doesn't particularly matter to me either way. I'd go for it if people put together a good argument for it. But people seem to be against the political forum, and we had a literature forum which failed. So, yeah.

I'm sick of politics, I don't mind Ziegfried's storys and stuff...But I'm still sick of political threads. Thats all thats in F4A at the moment. About 5 Bush v's Kerry threads and this.

Congrats everyone, you just wasted another 2 1/2 mins of my not very valuable time. :P

I dont see why people really like to talk about stuff they have no control over and whatnot but that is just my opinion. Politics are to comlicated for my 14 year old mind ;)

^ Posters use politics in their arguements/participate in said political threads to make themselves out to be intelligent and well-informed compared to other, non-political (often inferior) posters.

Just keep using the Free 4 all for those threads, a whole new sub-forum ain't necessary :nod:

also aint is not a word... Its not Necessary is more correct but hell what do i no.

Even though America has a sorry ass democracy, without discussing political issues it's completely useless...

I'm severely annoyed by the overflow of Political threads, especially given that some of the posters don't even have the intellectual backbone to make interesting comments... These usually sway along the lines of idiocy and biased opinions...

So yeah, take those outta the Free-4-All, I say!!

Political Sub-Forum, I salute you...

That is a strong argument for the sub forums. I actually agree with that. But Opinions are like ass holes every body has one.. if you dont mind me saying.. my mom Used to tell me that all the time LOL.

:nods: and you must be open to others thoughts, so it's better when things go in rather than come out...

Agreed the BushvsKerry threads are getting horribly frustrating, however, transporting them out of F4A is not the solution. They'll die out, like so many threads have. Let this forum be open to all threads, isn't that the idea? Anyway, I don't think any thread is apolitical if you keep in mind the definition of 'political' (an acitvity involving compromise or conflict...).
I did like the idea of a separate litt forum, but Mason and others say that it hasn't been a success earlier, so it would be better to keep it in F4A.
Sub forums will soon dissolve f4a and that is an thought I don't like.

Still not showing up...:/ somebody else wants a sandwhich:P
