On balance, I think it is a step in the right direction, getting rid of SD would be even better. Keep it as an entertainment only forum.

SD is one of the most popular forums so would be foolhardy. Not to mention who are those to try to have it removed when so many like it. Pompous nonsense.

Plenty of people have objected when people have suggested this before. It sounds to me that what you really want is to get rid of political opinions from the site not popular with you - maybe just have it as a general left wing chat site which is pretty much what it has been for years.

The fact that those not so much to left have been more vocal lately clearly doesn’t sit well with some. It’s callled bringing all views to the table and creating a balance more in line with the general views of the country.

just having doubts if politics should be on a forum like this, that's all
and since admin is not averse to changes, like putting celebrity in SD suggests, maybe it's worth checking how fms feel about SD..?
If it's so liked then there's nothing to be afraid of, Brillo.

Believe it or not, it was the admirable intellectual quality of this forum's Serious Debate posts which 'drew me in' when I first came across the site 4 years ago.

I browsed the different forums but ended up spending hours reading through serious Debates before joining.

As Cherie says; 'Put it on ignore' and stay off there if you dislike it so much.

I’ve never understood this ‘get rid of this, that or the other forum mentality. There are lots of forums on here I never go in but I’m not suggesting they are removed because they don’t interest me. It’s ridiculous - there is other motivation at play here in my opinion.

SD won't be getting deleted tbh. Off season its probably the busiest subforum. However, I do still disagree with the merge.

Do you think it shows collusion of our Admin with Chat and Games?

Au contraire, love debating different opinions. But when you start posting superfluous images to inflame a thread or dont provide links where it does not suit you, I draw a line. Simple as.

Best thing to do is just keep the forum how it is..

N just use the todays new posts link at the top, that way you dont really look at what forum you are going to.

Just pick the right forum for your thread topic, if making one!
