Posts: 5,558 Key Largo, FL & Put-in-Bay, OH... | What do you think about putting a forum in the Main Index that is for general, non-sailing stuff? A place where people can talk about politics, global warming, recipes, and also their non-sailing hobbies like gardening, bicycling, skiing, car restorations, woodworking, birdwatching, photography, etc. | | | Re: Add a general, non-sailing forum?

Can you automatically switch posts that end up being off-topic to that new forum?

Unregistered | i PERSONALLY dont mind the occasional non-sailing topic (i.e. global warming, electric car,) thread in this forum. If i dont care about the topic i move on... on the other hand.. i probably would NEVER click on a politics, global warming, recipes, gardening or birdwatching forum... but thats just what I THINK | | | Re: Add a general, non-sailing forum?

Posts: 3,355 Key Largo, FL and Put-in-Bay, ... | Right, and I took up Wild Bird Feeding this year as a hobby at Put-in-Bay, that has turned out to be a Squirrel feeding hobby instead. I would outsmart them for a while, then they would invent a way to get to the seed and destroy the feeder. So, I would come up with another way to stop them. after a couple of days, they figured out a way to get by that.
I felt like Elmer Fudd v. Bugs Bunny. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> At last, a place to vent. Rick | | | Re: Add a general, non-sailing forum?

Posts: 3,348 | It's your show, but it won't solve anything. The anti free speech freaks will still become apoplectic when they see anything they disagree with. My biggest detractors will still, figuratively, foam at the mouth, and that's fun to watch in a train wreck kind of way.
If you'll notice, the threads with the most hits are always controversial. That seems to be part of human nature. You won't get many hits on the bird watching threads, I've tried, no one cares. | | | Re: Add a general, non-sailing forum?

Posts: 44 The Netherlands | I would not use the non sailing dept., and I never mix politics and/or religion with sailing - with almost nothing actually ;-).
It would be non-productive if disagreements on these non-sailing topics would affect the sailing topics/opinions.

Everybody, please try to focus on the subject of this thread -- which, by the way, is a perfect example of a thread that should be moved to that new forum. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> | | | Re: Add a general, non-sailing forum?
