Thats fine during the season and about draft time other than that its dead here. DC offers a reason to post and see if there is anything worth following in the lounge.

Of course, but when it was started, there were still a lot of unknowns and a lot of people were freaked out. I know a lot of people wanted to keep it front and center in the Lounge. It was obvious that it would be politically charged, but there was also a warning in the header about it. A lot of people got shit canned from that thread because they couldn't control themselves.

You still haven’t explained how this would improve things and why there isn’t a less drastic fix to your perceived problem.

All I'm saying is that if they were to say, hypothetically nuke DC, there's going to be a large segment of people, including people that don't even use DC, that are going to be upset. And if they don't nuke DC, there's going to be large segment of people, including people that don't even use DC, that are going to be upset. It's going to result in extra work for the mods no matter what they do because every argument has two sides. Settling an argument will always be seen as either a win or a loss depending on which side you're on. |

Okay, so if there is 40 out of 250 people as you mentioned, that's 16% of the total. If there is 40 out of 300, that's 13%. Is 13-16% that significant to the overall picture? That being said, I have to imagine that in 2000, there probably wasn't very many politics message boards back then. Now I'm sure there's plenty of them that they can participate, since obviously some of them don't even talk Chiefs or sports in general. There has been some members (not going to name names) that originally was a frequent user on the Lounge and not at DC, but now it's completely the other way around. Edited: I see you responded to OTWP15's comment. Disregard.

At some point Kyle is going to have step in publicly and tell us what he ultimately decides for this place. I realize that gets a bit touchy because people have donated money to improve and keep the place running. Hell, I donated back in the day, it’s been on my mind to donate again, it’s just one thing after another keeps coming up (financially, nothing to do with this place). But, at the end of the day it is his baby and he is going to have to step in on this matter, publicly, he very well may have to the mod team in private but, if so, some public backing wouldn’t hurt them. And I don’t view the mods as lost or with any kind of agenda (personal biases will always be a factor, it’s how you choose to handle them in your given roles), I just think an official position from the owner of the board would them, and everyone some good. Then we know. Then we can decide if we want to co to us to participate here or not (not a threat on my part, I’m speaking generally).

Taco has a long history with this board, including the football side. He’s not uncivil like so many others around here. I don’t believe he posts politics in the Lounge. He's interesting and entertaining.

Hey I think today I will go join a Dolphins board just so I can talk politics. Who does that? Honestly Pat I wouldn't give a shit I just want to watch sports. Once the whistle blows none of that shit matters and it is all background noise. |
