Opinions needed

**Ironduke** · 09-12-2003, 20:27 PM

I was thinking of getting rid of the Political Discussion Forum, the Social & Economic Forum, and the International Terrorism Forum.

The American Military Issues, Far East and Pacific Military Issues, European Military Issues, Middle Eastern Military Issues, and South Asian Military Issues forums would be expanded to include social, political, and economic issues and all other issues pertaining to those regions.

All threads would be bumped to the appropriate forum.

So, the question is, keep them seperate or merge them together?

Please vote your choice and give feedback if you have any.

I've grown use to the way it is... change is bad.... very very bad....

bigross86 · 09-13-2003, 13:56 PM

I'm good either way...

**Lunatock** · 09-13-2003, 14:57 PM

Voted "no". It's now in the lead.

ChrisF202 · 09-13-2003, 19:10 PM

It dosent really matter to me

**TopHatter** · 09-15-2003, 10:15 AM

I'm rather fond of keeping things like Political discussions in a seperate place. Of course, that might have something to do with politics leaving a bad taste, as it were. I voted no.

**Ironduke** · 09-21-2003, 19:19 PM

Ok, I've come to a decision.

Based on the votes and opinions expressed here, I'll leave everything as it is.

I like it the way it is.

I voted no. We need more general forums such as the Political Discussion Forum and the Social & Economic Forum. I think we ought have a forum for Literature as well.

Sorry, no artsy-fartsy forums here. If it doesn't fall under any of the specific forums, it goes in general discussion.

Now, I'm not opposed to military or anything, but this forum has become so military-centered I keep expecting it to clank like mortar rounds getting chucked in the back of the Jeep when I load the page.

This forum hasn't "become" anything.

The old forum was deleted.

This isn't the old WAB.

This is a completely new forum on the same URL.

Still, a 'World Affairs Board' is a 'World Affairs Board', and this is now a very militaristic World Affairs Board...

bigross86 · 09-29-2003, 01:56 AM

A board is a reflection of the members it's made up of. We just happen to be very military oriented people. However, the board is not exclusively military, there are Social and Economical Forums, Political Forums, etc...

I like to think of my best solution to a situation like this. If I am somewhere that I don't particularly like, I LEAVE!
