    Eh, gun control is a current "hot button" issue. I'm not saying by any means it'll go away completely, but it doesn't need a sub forum.

    I do, however, like the idea of having a "Politics" sub-forum with-in the Off-topic forums.

    I'm all for a politic section but don't know if a relationship section is needed. Better keep that in Off-Topic tbh.

    Science!=politics, no matter how much politicians try to tell you that it is...

    I'd like a science one and then one for all of those relationships help/stories threads.

    I'd just have relationships added as a new thread and politics and leave it at that. no need to keep making 3 or 5 new threads

    Id add religion to the list but unfortunately that is against the rules here.

    They do we have a chat thread forum? Shouldn't that be in fun stuff? And people are worried about thread activeness...

    Signed, great idea

    A big fat NO to this tired, failed idea.

    These sorts of sub forums have been tried at various sites over the past 20 years, almost all of those experiments were disastrous for the following reasons:

    1. It splinters the forum community. People start only visiting the subforums that interest them, GREATLY reducing traffic for the general off-topic forum as well as the others. With no traffic, people start leaving in search of other places where there are more people, even if they at first thought the sub forums were a good idea. The OT community starts to dry up and die, with only a handful of posts per day.

    2. People get confused where to post by the forums when it comes to gray areas, so they just don't post. This also reduces traffic.

    I'd rather not see the MMOC off-topic forum destroy itself with the same mistake that has doomed many others.

    Unless of course the goal here is to actually destroy the MMOC OT community. It'll be very effective if that's what you want.

    Milk was a bad choice.

    No.



    Going to close this now; it's almost 2 months old at this point. It's unlikely that we'd create separate subforums for these areas as both would just be trollbait.
