No way. Haven't you ever seen a political 'Debate'

Where do you stand on this?

Guy one: Blah blah blah blah
Guy two: Guy one is wrong because blah blah blah
Guy one: Now that just doesn't make any sense because of blah blah blah
Guy two: Your just wrong and I am right!

View at home: Huh? That is to complicated to understand.

Not to mention all of the poorly typed posts.

If we got rid of Eyes on the World, I wouldn't miss it much. You're askin' for that kind of thing when it comes to politics, so maybe it's out of place in a forum where the average age is... what, 17?

We can't stop people from discussing politics, etc. and I would much rather have those threads segregated into one forum than have them turning up in GC or EoEO if it was gotten rid of.

the funny things is that while people whine about me on eotw and say i'm the evilest person there and i'm gonna cause the moon to collide with the earth if i keep on not liking maericna policy. i have not had one warning or ban from the admin. so i must be doing something right.

Cloud, like I said before, no one really cares that much about you, and we certainly don't think you're "evil". You can just be very freaking stubborn, and that's what pisses us all off (even supporters). I mean, being anti-American isn't a new idea, after all.

Oh, and to all of you new knights and whatnot, I say this: burn the damn place.

Burning the damn place isn't going to stop the threads from starting in other forums.

True, but from reading the thread, it seems that the general consensus among the staff is that Eyes on the World is lame beyond compare, and that no one even wants to moderate it. Perhaps if those threads spread into other, more moderated boards (GC and EoEo) they would be a little bit less spammy.

I mean, I admit I'm a real ass in EotW at times, but that's because I know I can get away with it. (I've never done anything bannable, though. Don't get excited, haha).

It is like the Xenogears board. It just isn't ment to be.

I never liked that World Events was created and I still don't. I don't see why the occasional new article has to be dicussed there. The only time it is really bad for any forum is usually once every two years(US elections) and when something big happens like the London Bombings, Iraq invasion or 9/11/2001. Outside of that the forum is usually pretty dead.

You know, that's a very nice idea. So, you want Eyes on The World to be reserved and used only when a major event happens? I mean, I could see that happening. The staff removes EoTW from being viewed for most of the time, but when something happens that affects the world or some part of the world that would increase activity in EoEO about that event, then probably staff can bring back the forum, and when everything slows down or when the discussions are about over, they can remove the forum.
