I agree with you about news still being allowed in CC.I would rather posters played the ball, not the man, but as I've said many times if someone insults me they will likely receive a return of serve.
That aside, the forum has proceeded smoothly enough, and better than a lot of people predicted.
What's happened so far makes all the noise made by the CC mods about the previous place look like a big fuss about nothing.
Presumably they are now chuffed, having not much else to do other than sit around the CC office playing cards and watching YouTube vids.
As regards content on here, it seems to me 'news' is still often allowed in Cafe in the other place which is holding this place back - the Baldwin shooting being the latest example.
More members of any persuasion would be good, but it appears a few of the more active posters in the old NACA are determined not to come across - they did the same with the previous separate news board.
Unless the mods over there religiously shunt all news over here, I cannot see this place getting a great deal busier than it is now.
As several of us pointed out in the thread discussing it over there, the distinction that Shaun and the mods want to make was never really "politics" v "not politics", it was "controversy" v "not controversy". They seem happy to let threads run over there that are clearly NACA as long as no one starts expressing challenging opinions.
