Okay, so I've moved a fair bit over.
Please don't take the types of topics you see in this forum at the moment as an indication of where these topics have to go. You can still post most of them in Civilium, and are strongly encouraged to, if you're interested in having an actual discussion of the topic (as most people are when they open a thread), rather than a procession of one-liners. The default for a political thread, for instance, should be the other forum, where the standards are about the same as the old OT (but perhaps a bit higher).
Remember you're always free to have a thread on a topic both here and there. So if you want to post something without the interference of people posting crap and engaging in mind-numbing quote wars, post it in Civilium and you can have a thread here for the one-liners anyway.
