R/P is shut down?!

[IceForce]

This is a real shame. The R&P board here was one of the best on the internet, not just because it had a diverse range of opinions (ie: not an echo chamber), but also because you could have meaningful discussions there without other people calling you a poopy-head (unlike a lot of R&P forums elsewhere).

I mean, supposedly things are going to get better, but most of what we see is things being taken away.

You won't see me say this very often, but I agree with you 100%.

First it was the Wild West, and now this.

Did we visit the same R&P? I look forward to Off Topic being swamped by multiple threads discussing whatever daft thing Trump and the Republicans did that day.

I get it. I don't agree with it, but I get it.

I wouldn't worry. Once R&P threads start drowning out everything else in Off-Topic - and they will - people will be begging for it to be re-opened again and the staff will realize their mistake.

Users: "Hey um, there's a lot of threads about religion and politics in the Off-Topic forum, enough for them to have their own dedicated forum in fact."

Staff: "That's a great idea!"

Not really a fan of this decision. Then again there was plenty of toxic crap in there with the justification of it being political criticism or whatever. That much I'm fine with.

I still remember the days when R&P didnt exist, and off topic had a lot of threads on politics and god. This isnt going to go well, even if it is temporary.

The Wild West isnt coming back.

Lovely. The toxic waste pit is getting closed and it's only a matter of time before it all starts splashing all over everything else.

Even 4chan knows enough to have containment boards.

Brace yourselves! Politics discussion is coming to Off-topic forums.

 

[IceForce]

Can we at least have our threads rescued from oblivion and moved to Off-topic? I had a thread in R&P that I created very recently, and it was still active last I checked.

It's already started

And now it will be here ?\_(&#12484_/?

Lets pollute off topic with R&P.

The Wild West isnt coming back.

The owner and the community manager are not the type who would like the content of wild west. Even if it was a hidden sub forum.

 

[Marik2]

im surprised that the pub club forum hasnt been deleted, given that its a dead place.

Yeah but why beat a dead horse? ain't like it'll get any more dead...

So all the hot garbage that used to be in R&P is going to start showing up on Off-Topic.

Great...
