There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

fficeffice" /><o></o>Well there isn’t any, yet. Pam is asking, after seeing the topic, for us, the guests of this fine establishment, to please refrain from being inspired by the occasion of your post, to “go there.” The friendly warning comes from the wisdom of past experience!
></o>See above response to skyhawka4m. We don’t discourage “OT” because we’re “neat freaks” who like to see everything in its proper slot, but for the purpose of keeping contentious discussion to a dull roar. It’s the off topic discussions that most often degenerate into hurt feelings, followed by insinuations regarding the ancestry of your relatives, followed by flung cheeseburgers and beer bottles. Not all OT is discouraged or disallowed, but when it is, that’s usually why...That is one thing - and please Pam do not take it personal because it's just not ment like that - that annoyes me to death on public fora. There just doesn't seem to be any room for off topic talk. Everything goes to here or there so that the organisation ghost is being paid tribute. I never understood why there are 20+ sub forums while 2 or 3 would absolutely suffice. Visiting your favorit forum is like back in the old days going into the pub having your morning talk. If you expect that talk to be split into several sub forums you expect your users to go into another pub just for talking another topic. I hate that, I don't want to change my hang-out justso that I can share a thought that may be by chance 50% off-topic. Hope that makes sense and rant mode off.
