I guess at this point if I get in trouble for "spamming" it won't matter as with the closing of P&R I won't have any reason to come back to SCF now that I have quit the card hobby.
About 2 years ago when I was AGM this issue of closing the P&R became a subject of discussion within the staff area. I proposed that a political discussion forum that I had created be treated as a sister site to SCF where any political discussion here would be directed to my forum and any sports related talk at my forum would be directed to SCF via hyperlinks. After 6 months of asking if this was something Mike would want to do without ever getting an answer I gave up trying. My time invested in AGM here had prevented me from properly investing time in my own forum and the investment of hundreds of dollars out of my own pocket for a domain name, site hosting and software/app purchases made it illogical to continue on. So I let the domain expire and forgot about it.
Then a month or so ago it came to my attention that P&R was probably going to close. I checked and my old domain has been purchased, so that option is out. Instead I started another forum, which is currently a work in progress, just for the purpose of political discussion. If anyone wants to join there, it is free, of course. Everyone, regardless of political affiliation or opinion is welcome. The rules there are much more relaxed than they are here, all I ask is that no porn be posted and the flaming stay to a minimum. The address is XXXXXXXXX
NAME CHANGE! I bought a domain name. The new address is
http://politicsandreligionforum.com
If after some time I see that it is worth it I will go ahead and purchase a full domain name and perform some software upgrades and add to it, but for now I need to see that there is enough interest in it before I will go that route.
