It's been suggested we have an area to discuss politics and current events. Be aware that if we add one, any political discussion started in the other areas will be moved to the politics board. That might keep things calmer on the other boards  Thoughts? Discussions? Cupcakes? Wait, wrong board for the cupcakes, sorry. |

I used to be on a forum that had a "Hot Topics" board. It did get quite heated on many topics.
And yes please, cupcakes.

I think "Hot Topics" will cover all of the things my mother said I should never discuss: politics, religion and my age.

I voted yes, just one thing to keep in mind, in the legend, which I now can't find to confirm this, I believe that the flaming topic icon is called a Hot Topic. Could perhaps cause some confusion.

Good point. Although the discussions there might always be flaming….

I like "Hot Topics." Mostly, I like that that stuff won't be intermixed in with the regular threads.

I voted yes because I know most of you like it.
I hate discussing religion or politics because some people just take everything too personally.
I more than likely won't participate, but I think it would be a good board for everyone else to have.
Unless it involves military discussion. Then I might be all over that like flies on......well, you know.

I suggested a Politics board just to keep it out of the regular discussions. I won't be participating, but it would be a place for those who want to discuss the issues and it won't disrupt other threads.

I agree with Liz & emerald. If some want to discuss religion and/or politics keep it separate so it doesn't get mixed up with other less controversial topics. I won't participate there.

I am the "Whats that" vote because I don't care either way.
I usually stay away from those discussions unless animals are involved.

I added it to the Off-Topic board, but it's own section. Wll that work? If it gets too unweldy, we can always move it to it's own full board.
