There plenty of threads on the main board that are not football related.
It's Sludge's threads that get moved.

When I first posted on here a few weeks ago after my enforced absence for health reasons,I noticed that the former politics forum and the others that had existed had now metamorphosed into an "Alternative forum"
I presume something happened to cause this.
Nonetheless I never agreed with a separate politics board so I think even less of a board which takes everything football related off the main board and goes even further away from the board I once thought so much of which was an eclectic mix of topics which made this such a good place to be on in its earlier days because everyone got involved in the various discussions that ensued which made for a great mix of views in the one place
Now it is just another boring football board.
Mike why oh why did you ever go down this route??????

Sometimes even on a Saturday night it's dead
I think that's a shame
Apparently Instagram and Twitter are what the football fans of today like ?
Happened about 3 months ago now
Generally political and argumentative posts get moved
oh and normally when sludge starts a thread, though the Pizza Hut one stayed, must have been feeling generous that night
It's less busy now than it was before the new rules were brought in
So that tells me either the new board is pissing people off or .....People are just bored of football messageboards
Or probably it's a bit of both
Lots and lots of people just vanish
I think we should have a generally football board , politics , music films and everything else
And that's it
Well everyone can be guilty of stretching a point but that doesnt explain why Saturday nights is dead ......I don't think its explained by people not wanting to discuss the royalty or the crisis in the NHS or the best metal albums of the last 20 years
I just think these people are on twitter or done something stupid like got married
I'm still not sure what the alternate forum is supposed to be about. I started a Jeremy Clarkson thread on there about this time yesterday because it seemed the right place for it and it quietly died on there really, yet someone starts a Clarkson thread a few hours later on this forum and it gets far more replies and viewings - not having a go at the person who started the thread on here, it's probably more down to me for sticking the original message on the wrong board.
Now that the thousands who were flocking to read threads on the alternate board started by Gluey and one of his kindred spirits seem to have moved on, I tend to agree with Elwood about the alternate board - what is its point?
Alternative forum was a great idea.
Keep it as it is. Maybe go further and have a forum for conspiracy theorists and anti vaxxers as well.
I like the Alternative forum - it's the only time I get to read the Guardian.
