Not enough "OT political" posts anymore...?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I think the separate "politics" forum has worked out well. About 3/4ths of the "OT" posts were political alerts and rants, and now you can sign in and just view all "active" topics (which is what I do, since I don't mind the political posts), or just view all "general" topics - which will be mostly leverguns or somewhat related fun/gun stuff.
Plus, it gets me out of having to remember to post the monthly "too many OT political posts rebuttal" each month.
All together now...

Thanks, Hobie...!

I am with you doc. I do it pretty much the same way. You can have it your way.

Re: Not enough "OT political" posts anymore...?
It really has worked out very well. Of course, you know I never posted anything but on-topic lever-related stuff, so it hasn't impact me that much...

Re: Not enough "OT political" posts anymore...?
Oh it is sooooo peaceful. Kind of like when all the kids go over to their friends house and fight.
I agree this separation of politics from the regular forum is the way to go.
I'd like to keep it like this.
Thanks Hobie.

Well, depending on how you view the forum we're pretty much like a major fast food place, you can have it your way.
Y'all are most welcome.

Re: Not enough "OT political" posts anymore...?
I have noticed the nice peaceful and gunny attitude here of late, but I didn't observe that a new forum for politics had been created. I shant go there! Kudos to whoever thunk it up!

Re: Not enough "OT political" posts anymore...?
I check in from time to time on the politics forum, but not much. I have to admit, I have not missed the absence of political posts.

Actually - not to carry this over INTO a "political" post, but I hope those who don't like to do the "political" side of things (i.e. just 'ignore' the political section of the forum) do remember that their hobby/freedom is in serious jeapordy, and even if they want to lock out the politics from their evening relaxation on the forum, I hope they carve out some OTHER time to 'do the right thing' and help us all preserve our freedom...! Just an hour a week can do alot if it is spent effectively. If that's too distasteful, pick an organization to send $20 bucks to every month.

Re: Not enough "OT political" posts anymore...?
Quite frankly I found myself spending less and less time here prior to the change of venue. I just plain didn't enjoy the forum as well as I used to. I passed up the political topics, but it was a major task to ferret through them.
Now I find myself spending more time enjoying the posts, and getting some great info again!-Vall

OK, so put Blaine's last post in the "Political" forum, then!BlaineG wrote: This is an off topic political post and has no business in this forum....
...Just kiddin' Blaine.
I AM a political animal - have become quite politically intense since certain things have transpired in the last few years, including certain issues relating to gun ownership (but I won't go further here). Even so, I totally agree that it is a great idea to allow political posts, but on a separate forum. Even I get tired of hearing all of the political stuff, even though I occasionally post it myself. I really joined Leverguns.com and visit it daily because of its excellent leverguns / shooting / reloading / hunting / cameraderie / photos!
Good work, Hobie (and anybody else responsible)!
Re: Not enough "OT political" posts anymore...?
I can't believe you guys are still over here talking about Leverguns. So much excitement and controversy on the "other side"....hehehe.
Thanks Hobie....definitely the better format.

Re: Not enough "OT political" posts anymore...?
I was gettin so tired of listening to political garbage that towards the end of the cycle I started carrying CD's to listen to at work instead of the radio. This is peaceful.

I like it, too. I do look at both categories, but it's nice being able to look at just one or the other. Thanks, Hobie!
