<BLOCKQUOTE> • Quoth gkleinman •<HR SIZE=1>The War forum has always been a temporary forum. With the main military action now winding up, so will the war forum. <HR SIZE=1></BLOCKQUOTE>
Oh, come on ... the <B>war</B> for hearts and minds will continue for years.
Seriously, I've very much enjoyed the War Forum and will miss it. We've had quite a few interesting and informative debates in there. There's still a lot going on in Iraq worthy of discussion, so I hope it doesn't disappear too quickly.

what I find odd, and forgot to mention originally, was that the war forum is still there but the link isn't
I could understand if the forum had been totally removed

Consider this a weening off process.

<BLOCKQUOTE> • Quoth gkleinman •<HR SIZE=1>Because I added the war forum as a temp forum to meet real and immediate needs of the forum, I don't want it to morph into a permanent Politics forum by defualt. <HR SIZE=1></BLOCKQUOTE>
Then how about you create a Politics Forum on its own to meet real and long-term needs of the forum?

While I think the war forum was an important thing to do, it took a real toll on the moderators whose task it was to keep things in line. Most have expressed a wish to see it folded back into Other and I agree. I'm not really in favor of then creating a politics forum.

To be honest, I didn't think about it from a moderator perspective. I can accept that explanation. I do think the War Forum was a success from a poster's perspective, though, and I would hope we could revisit this subject at a future date when there is more moderator time available. Thanks for the answer.

What's going to happen to all the threads and posts??? I hope they'll be archived, but I guess that could take up too much room. We've had such good times. Now we have to go back to Other where we're looked down upon for posting serious current events or political threads. Don't get me wrong, I knew this day was coming, but damnit, now we have to be funny and carefree again.

Plus look on the bright side, the US can always start another war, maybe even on soon. 
Serious question now, should we limit the number of war and political threads we start in Other once the War forum is gone?

- I'm just playing here folks. While the kernal of my statement is pretty much what I think, the language is all in fun. Please don't chew me a new one. Thanks! -
