Re: New Forum Request
Wow,... I like the fact that the content on this board varies so greatly. I don't think we need a seperate forum for controversial issues. So far the majority of content isn't offensive, just expressions of differing opinions. If you make a "controversial" forum, I would think the content would be anything goes, and I'm thinking the posts there may well go far above and beyond what anyone if comfortable with.
In addition, most of the "non-Jeep" threads are still family friendly. I haven't seen anything that crosses the line as far as subject matter is concerned. Politics, Social Issues, Critiques,... I wouldn't have a problem with my nieces and nephews reading them. Now rant's that cross over into innapropriate subject matter, as indicated in the "rules" are innappropriate no matter where you put them. To be honest, I think it is nice that we have a board with intelligent members. Sure, sometimes a post or two gets my blood boiling, but there's nothing wrong with that is there? They are also always thought provoking and informative.
If something needs to be done, drop the forum down to the bottom, that way it isn't the first thing, as Sparky suggested. I just worry about the precident a "Controversial" forum might set. One or two rants about race, or women, or God knows what, and I gaurantee the membership will plummet.
Just my .02
