    Where: http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/forum/34.html

    How: Relevant threads from the last two pages or so of AoDA threads will be moved to the new forum, and any new ones relevant to the forum should be made there from now on. I'm still in the process of moving the threads, so you'll have a wait for a bit before you can post there.

    Please post all your comments about it here.

    I'm still not sure I understand what we're supposed to post here as opposed to in the AoDA.... :confused:

    [​IMG] Check the stickied thread in the new forum, or the description in the forum listing:

    "For posts dealing with the US politics and its consequences, both internal & external. Some examples of the relevant topics of discussion here: the US foreign policy, its execution, the wars the US is engaged in, laws passed in the US, various political activity in the US, etc. Both praise and criticism are equally valid and accepted."

    Good idea, Tal. Anyone want to make a bet on the percentage of threads in the new forum that are started by Ragusa? :shake:

    [​IMG] Without all the political action, maybe AoDA should be renamed: The Alley of "Soothing" Angles - Or just, Alley "Lite".

    Oy, politics happens outside the US, you know! :p

    I know there is something witty that can be said about the Alley of Lingering Sighs giving birth - too bad I am too tired to think anything.

    About time; now people can actually forget them and think far more important countries than US. China, for example, is much more interesting than the age-old-Bush-ridden yankees -no offence. ;)

    Good, now the aoda won't be plagued with US politics crap. People would be so much happier if they didn't watch the TV and read newspapers.

    Then I would suggest another new forum: the Alley of Lingering in Saunas (AoLiS), wherein the threads would revolve around Linux, cell phones, cross-country skiing, death metal, seasonal affective disorder, and alcohol.

    [​IMG] It's nice. I give you that.
    But I have a 'but'. There will always be people offended for some reason or an other. I sometimes feel offended by what people say about God or certain religions. I would not like to have a "The Oracle"-forum to discuss any religious matter.

    We could start a "Salem"-forum as well, so everyone who slightly knows me would not check out the threads in there, else they might be offended by anything that matches with my way of thinking.
