KTMrad 508 Posted October 17, 2012 Contrary to popular vote, I believe it's best to DELETE the DARK SIDE FORUM, not allow another forum like it on our site, and to Prohibit Political and Religious Discussions on SDAR. I don't want to lose good people due to these types of discussions. We never had many of these posts until recently. The "tone" here on SDAR has changed for the worse lately. There are other places for those discussions, anyone from SDAR can go to those other places to discuss them. We need to keep SDAR the positive, local motorcycling community it's been for years. I think we'll lose less good people by deleting the Dark Side and Politics, etc., than we will lose if we continue to allow it. Thanks for understanding.

Joliet 0 Posted October 17, 2012 Just for clarity, what political issues can or should we talk about? Just Land closure? Potential land issues like Solar and Thermal energy projects? Red/Green sticker fund issues? EPA/CARB issues? Second Amendment Rights? Endorse or Denounce politicians that are either for or against the above issues?

KTMrad 508 Posted October 18, 2012 Yep, unfortunately I didn't realize the B.O.O.B. thread was moved there also...so we lost it. Oh well, someone will start another...if they do, keep it in the "Other" forum category where Kawee started it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CL300CAPT 0 Posted October 18, 2012 Understood and agreed. When was religion ever referenced though? I must have missed that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 508 Posted October 18, 2012 Understood and agreed. When was religion ever referenced though? I must have missed that. It really wasn't much....but it CAN bring up similar emotions and nasty arguments like politics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
