Hey, Owens, seeing as how there have been a bunch of political flame wars clogging up the ski/snowbard pages, perhaps you could create a new forum for us where we can bitch and moan at each other until November. Perhaps call it "The Debate Club" or "Flaming Idiots" or something like that.

Request for Owens
"There is a hell of a huge difference between skiing as a sport- or even as a lifestyle- and skiing as an industry"

A really good idea in theory, but I think it would just further highlight and single out who is on the left and who is on the right, and it would kill a lot of the stoke. Maggots would just argue and hate on eachother endlessly. I'm guilty of hating on others here becuause of their political beliefs, and so are a lot of others, but I'm not particularly proud of it. I think if anything there needs to be less political jabber, or at least more healthy political jabber.
On the otherhand, a "flaming idiots" forum might provide hilarity and levity. Thats just my opinion though, so if you guys think it's a good idea, then by all means go for it

Or take it to the padded room?
Seriously, half this crap is going to dissapear once we start getting snow again a) because everyone will be skiing all day b) they will be posting pics all night, or at least they better be.

yeah ok, good point, I withdraw my earlier opinion. I definitely fifth that "flaming idiots forum" motion.
What do you say, Owens?

Half you clowns [present clowns excluded
] can't understand how to PM someone and the other half can't find the Gear Swap or TechTalk forums, yet you think people are going to take their political debates into a separate forum? Right....

probably not, but at least we can tell them to keep it there when they forget...it would give a little more ammo to the stale "will you guys stop already!" approach.*Originally posted by phUnk

Actually, there is a new version of this forum script out and I'm investigating it. I may choose to upgrade the whole shooting match before I make any more small tweaks...
When you're feeling down, just remember: It's always darkest before it goes pitch .... fucking.... black.
