"I like it when there's something beyond their scope and.... Wham this thread should be in politics. . In reality it's just any topic you could argue about and I think fair enough, they don't like the arguing but then..... There arguing about the very subject now!! And they argue over every subject regardless" I had one yesterday where I told someone their explanation of a phenomenon was simplistic and they got all angry saying that a forum wasn't the place for proper analysis! | |||

"Stop tempting fate! We dont want to go back to the lounge do we? Remember all the warnings, and threads being edited and closed because of moronic abuse..." Hell no I don't want to go back. I just find it funny that they are missing us but I ain't missing them at all (in my best Tina tuner voice) | |||

"So there's a thread in the lounge complaining at the lack of intelligent conversation up there. We all know that's because the intelligent conversation happens down here. Well that and a lot of Brexit shit. Anyway, mums the word ok? " Your going to be a mum, omg congratulations, when is the due date, well done, was it planned | |||

Here, 60% of the threads are Brexit-related shit. 40% are genuinely good discussions about serious events. In the lounge, 90% of the threads will be filled with slogans, propaganda and general rubbish. Anything other than debate really. 10% will reach an average standard of debate. | |||

I'm cool with that. But that's how I see it " I spend way too much time on here, but sometimes I actually learn shit. For example, you know I liked my brier scores. But in the course of discussing it, someone actually pointed out a serious flaw in the brier score and referenced a paper that suggest I use a log likelihood function instead. I've since read the paper and I agree with it. I've genuinely learnt something really useful to me. That only happens when you actually get to know the posters (so you can ignore the crazies) and a debate has time to unfold properly, not rush to 180 posts with one liners. I'd never get that from the lounge. | |||

" I just think that the lounge has lost something by having a swperate politics forum" Now that is the truth, and I think some are now working out what is missing from there. However that it has taken 4 months for them to work it out speaks volumes! " and that the politics forum has developed a singlemindedness to its own detriment." I would suggest that if you polled those who post and follow debates here there would be an overwhelming satisfaction with how the politics forum runs and the subjects covered. As for our single mindedness, that is a reflection of those who post. Please don't stifle our forums development because you find your forum (the Lounge) has become boring and you no longer have us and the subjects we like to discuss to provide trolling entertainment for those who start and post 'fuck, kiss, avoid' threads. | |||

Well, I have been posting in the politics forum for ages. I didn't realize the lounge was "[my] forum." It didn't take me 4 months to figure out that I don't like the separate forums, I've said it from the beginning. And as for the people who post here liking the way it runs, I would call that self selection. Everyone else has gone. I used to post more here, too, but I've been doing it less and less. Those who've stayed must like it, but again I would say that is self selection. But I suppose I should just go back to my forum. Apologies | |||

""as soon as decent conversation starts the same 25 people start a thread hijack about absolute shite, in jokes, and general gibberish with emoticons" Ha ha ha ha ha so true.

"They are attempting to discuss political issues in the lounge now. More people taking part, but quantity doth not mean quality." The 'quality' in the politics forum isn't great. It's just 2 or 3 people repeating what they believe. It's not a debate, nobody in the discussion ever accepts any body elses point . Looks like PM queations at its worst at times. | |||
