Should there be a US specific OT sub-forum ?

[kiwitt]

Around half of all content in Off-Topic is US related and of little relevance to the rest of the world.

The last thing the OT needs now is more decentralization. So no.

(also, what could you guys possibly talk about without us )

This!

There is no need to split OT even further.

Whats next? A UK or European specific OT sub-forum?!

Just have a quote warriors forum, problem solved. Make sure the quote warriors can only post in that forum.

that wouldn't be good, because sometimes Im interssted in what goes in other countries, and im sure Europeans, etc. sometimes care about the US

This.

This is a majority American board and therefore we will talk about American things.

Half of all posters in OT are from the US so that sounds just fine to me.

Sometimes I get tired of certain topics getting buried by Republicans-gone-wild threads or wotnot.

 

[Maniacal]

No because I suspect it will only create more work for moderators moving threads and we know that is never going to happen.

US related subjects are of great relevance to the rest of the world.

So do I, in all honesty (said as a private member, not with my moderator's hat on). There are lots of other things going on in the world - for example, Canada's government may fall this week. I wouldn't mind seeing some discussion on that, if anyone wants to post it.

We have a thread already!

No, there will not be a US-only OT subforum.

 

[Dreadnought]

There should be an anti-Republican and anti-Fox subforum, so in OT we can discuss more important things.

 

[azzaman333]

It's pretty easy to ignore them. It's annoying when unrelated threads are derailed into US politics though.

 

[Abaddon]

Most threads de-rail into American Politics, so it would be lots of work for Moderators.

 

[Kyriakos]

A US-themed forum= a Political forum mostly, if not utterly.
And as much as i dislike the political threads in OT, they form a very large part of that forum and i am not sure if separation from them would leave OT viable.

I think it would be a good idea to have a "Debate" forum where people could schedule one on one (Or two on two) debates where they would debate a certain topic between those two posters.
