Wow, my thoughts exactly you two. I was fairly active until about November of last year, then suddenly quit caring so much about politics, which was one of the primary reason I used to come here besides well, the boobs. I even switched from talk radio to sports talk radio. Just got burned out on politics after the election, and maybe I'm not alone.
If Superbelt, Mr. Mephisto, and Dr. Ustwo have been gone, but are now planning on being around a bit more, maybe it will subtly encourage others to post more like what I was accustomed to seeing here. Hope so. This forum used to be very unique. (and for awhile there I was looking at several political forums) The internet has exacerbated the "Balkanization" of society (damn that sounds terribly cheesey) in the sense that people flock to their interests. Most people interested in one thing or another share similar viewpoints, and forums tend to reflect this, with a few rabid minorities trying to stir things up. TFP politics was different in that is was a large cross section of society sharing only the common trait of being at least initially interested in boobs and being marginally internet savvy. Therefore you got a balanced debate from people that were more open-minded than average, and it was, I thought, pretty cool. I sure hope that it has not gone too far downhill, but it sounds like it took several steps back if there was talk of shutting down the forum.
I guess, thankfully, it seems from this thread that in my absence I may not have been missing out on all that much, and instead am catching the politics board on an upswing.
