I see your point, but as I alluded to earlier, it seemed to get to the stage where most discussions on the main board were a. Not about football and b. Mainly between splott dai and feedback essentially saying "oh no it isn't" "oh yes it is". Sometimes for days on end.
Personally I believe a rarely visited backwater is the best place for that crap, but that's just my opinion. And yes, I know I've been involved in many debates about brexit in particular, but I think most of us find political arguments, well, boring. And it's not like the politics forum is hard to findf you want to discuss that kind of thing.
End of the day, it's up to Mike
