how about a new forum

I think the best threads are ones in which the conversation takes fun and interesting turns with pictures and unusual ideas/unique viewpoints and goes off-topic! We don't need more forums (we're actually trying to pare down and organize what we have, have been eliminating ones that are less active, merging them into other related ones), we just need to better use what we have.

I've seen this argument several times over the short lifetime of just this board and I'm sure it's not a new problem: at some point conservatives hate how it turns into a "liberal place" (like what happened right after Obama was re-elected) and the next time it's the opposite complaint. If it feels like there's imbalance, it's merely because we don't have enough activity happening from one side versus another, and that's indicative of the larger political climate, the ebb and flow of users coming and going with their busy lives, etc. This forum in particular, being the most active of the board, can throw everything else off-balance as well, but remember that there are many more forums and topics on this board in which to participate! Every year several of us have a blast with the Pick 3 Contest in the Sports Field, and I will never stop being a movie junkie posting gossip and reviews. I haven't seen much posted lately about outdoor activities, and I'm sure that none of you are skipping the outdoor hiking, skiing, fishing, etc - toss some pictures up and tell us how your last trip went! Have y'all seen Walter's thread about his trip to Prague? There's some really cool stuff there - he's very observant. Heard a good joke lately?

I've always said the members make this board. You guys decide the topics, you make the conversations, and you create the content - you are in control. If you want it "more liberal" or "more conservative", then I challenge you to start more threads, and engage in more discussion! If you want it more light-hearted and humorous, don't wait for someone else to put something in and lament that it's gotten boring and stale, do it yourself! I'm sorry that I haven't been around much lately, I'm hoping that will change soon and I can get back to having more fun here too; I'm missing being more involved in conversations with you all. That's the best part of my day!

Hell no, you can post almost whatever you want where it's proper to do so. tongue: Posting it wherever you damn well please will get your sh** moved. LOL

Sorry, I can't resist because I wanna have some fun.
