It seems like people were willing to eject themselves. Only time will tell if this board is better or worse but it still remains.
Maybe this site improves after the great purge?

No more scrolling past 30 pinned post either
For now... however someone will eventually purchase this franchise opportunity and pin what they want.
If those leaving were ones who started political talk, good riddance to them.
Yeah right, that’s what the Sims girls said all the time🤨
I never started a political thread but if one is started or a thread turns political I'm in! Politics are more important than sports in our day to day lives. If you don't like discussing it then I hope you don't vote. It's like handing a loaded gun to a baby. Plus I really enjoy discussing politics.
I hope the new owners institute down votes......
And yes FTR I know Rivals controls what options we have, not the new owners so no down votes unfortunately.
Will one still be banned for saying anything even slightly critical of Joe Biden and the grand old Democrat party?
I have no problem discussing politics. I can do so, and have, with the best of them. In fact, I have worked for 2 politicians in my career, as a high-level appointee. There should be a forum for discussing current events. There used to be a separate forum here to discuss anything non-sports. There should be again. Sports can be divisive enough, without mixing politics in. Some people think they can change one's political opinions on a message board. It doesn't happen.

I agree with everything you said.
Sports message boards should not be overrun with political posts/threads like this one would be at times.
You don't have to read them, plenty of other threads are available. You don't like something that other people apparently do. So you want to shut down other people because they like something you don't like? How obnoxiously arrogant.
No...create a separate forum for all that junk instead of effing up thread after thread with it.
I would be in favor of that.
That's the right way to handle it. I post on another Gamecock board that does exactly that and it works out wonderfully.
I’ll be honest, I am a little confused about which site to go to now. Seems like they all have some positives.
The problem is the same mouthy losers go in EVERY OTHER THREAD and start political crap. They ruin a lot of threads that have nothing political in them until the usual losers start trouble.
Those that are ashamed of their own political beliefs rarely want to discuss it.
CockyTalk had a very vibrant and active political forum. It worked well. The only problem was that sometimes there were posters who I got along with really well in the sports forums, but then they would post nutty stuff in the political forum and spoil my view of them. I just like to pretend that since we're all Gamecock fans that we all agree on everything. Kumbaya.
I've always been a fan of the dedicated politics board. I feel like, if it's going to pervade all these conversations, at least move it off to the side. Because I don't think it can be washed away completely.
A lot of the people who talk about hating the intrusion of politics(myself included) in threads jump right in when it happens. So make a place for that, imo.
