Off Topic > Off Topic
should there be a subforum specifically for news and politics
Nonnel:
are tags possible with SMF? being able to add and filter those would be nice
SetGaming:
make a news and politics subforum so that people don't derail every thread with political discussion
AndroFox:
would be nice if people kept their political discussions to the megathread
ultimamax:
Absolutely. I feel like lots of people (or maybe just me?) don't use off-topic as much now that it's all politics. Back when it was less common I liked contributing to those kinds of threads, but they're pretty overwhelming now and they aren't constructive or anything

It's pretty much the same people making the same arguments and getting nowhere, because neither side will ever change their mind, over and over again. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Myself included, although most of the time I'm able to restrain myself. It's mostly when people get history wrong that bugs me.
