Just rename the site.....

Like most things,the options are simple. If you don't like it,simply don't participate. How eliminating a forum helps the site is a little puzzling. Why does this bug you so much Ross?

interesting Rick, I don't know anything about linkedin but as a business owner they do try to get me to join in occasionally. I have no time for more computer stuff. I'm sure John could always use help with this site some way some how .

I think the site traffic or daily posts are lower because of many reasons and one of them is some people are focused on this election year as Ed said, it is an important election year.

I get enjoyment, satisfaction, and relaxation from fishing. That would include making plugs, rods, buying/selling of gear, and trips to other areas to fish. The site steepened the learning curve for me in all those areas as well as providing some good solid friends, such as yourself, Chris. I come here to grab a little bit of that when I cannot be out fishing or participating in fishing related activities. So without getting into a diatribe about my great disdain of the current American political cesspool, I will speak up when I find my place of enjoyment to be continually soiled with a plethora of political threads...

So, if there continues to be a lack of politically dedicated sites on which you could participate, I guess the password feature would work for me.....

Exactly Chris. I choose not to participate and, in 13 years here, I don't think I have ever posted in the political forum. It isn't that I don't have any views, it's that I don't choose to share them.
