Another option could be just renaming I Love Everything to I Love Politics and moving all the quality content to a new board.

I'll stick with my original assessment in the first few answers to this thread.

A is for (Aimless), Friday, 28 June 2019 17:07 (four years ago) link

It would be less like I Love Music, with large numbers of active threads, and more like I Love Hoops or I Love Books, where one sprawling central thread captures 95% of the traffic, and subsidiary threads see very little interest.

You think that if politics threads were balkanized, it would just turn into one rolling thread? Given the current number of politics threads on ILE, I highly doubt it.

It is true that there's more than one behemoth political thread going most of the time these days. Right now there are 3. The Democratic Primary and Brexit Lol threads are capturing well over 60% of the politics traffic. The Tory leadership thread, which is going strong now, will soon peter out.

The monthly US politics thread is down to 10% or so of the politics thread traffic. Not a heck of a lot of play on any of the other region/country specific threads. I guess the SCOTUS thread could be called politics, but it is very sporadically active.

Start a new board or just rename everything except ILE I Hate Politics. Either way, I’m for it.

Excellent absentee poster Mordy has promised me via private message that he will return if this is brought about. What are we waiting for

imago, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:46 (three years ago) link

what if you hate politics but still want to bitch about politicians which board would that be

Left, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:50 (three years ago) link

it'd be great to have mordy back

i think a ILP board would be fine, makes sense

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:50 (three years ago) link

Agreed.

IHP board

what if you hate politics but still want to bitch about politicians which board would that be

that's actually a part of q, Q is Joe Biden, another non-US Politics thread (Q Anon, Qanon, Q_anon, Joe Biden is Q)

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:51 (three years ago) link

xxxp yes "I Hate Poltics" for obv reasons

John Wesley Glasscock (Hadrian VIII), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:52 (three years ago) link

No IHP is I Hate Pumpernickel

Looking for Cape Penis house (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:52 (three years ago) link

some of us love poltics, ok

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:52 (three years ago) link

it would be good for politics to be off my SNA - i would not add i love politics to it, if such a board existed - so i could avoid annoying the libs by shitposting in the 50 american politics threads that are always running.

on the other hand:

that goes against #onethread

i have just been doing this through self-discipline recently

It doesn't even fry well

I don’t think anyone should be looking to you for cooking tips lj

scampish inquisition (gyac), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:55 (three years ago) link

Pumpernickel is a wonderful word.

pomenitul, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:55 (three years ago) link

#onethread, like Q, is liquid and adaptive. you cannot "go against" #onethread, because it's like time and Joe Biden - it only moves forward.

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:55 (three years ago) link

Everything is political, though. Why even...(looks around, picks up bong)...even this is political, when you really think about it (lights bong, tokes bong).

Vladislav Bibidonurtmi (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:55 (three years ago) link

the prospect of being able to color-code pol threads in SNA is mouth watering

John Wesley Glasscock (Hadrian VIII), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:56 (three years ago) link

I vote yes

jaymc, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:56 (three years ago) link

It's almost like my reputation for cooking is still founded on what I did when I was 21, as opposed to now, when I will merely fry the pumpernickel and attempt to use it as a soup dip

imago, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:57 (three years ago) link

wait - we should have a ballot poll about this.

one that ends on election day 2024

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:57 (three years ago) link

imago, my reputation for cooking is 90% anecdotes about me getting fry oil on my arm and whining about it and complaining about how it itches. so what i'm trying to say is: i bet you're an amazing cook!

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:58 (three years ago) link

I'm pretty good, I usually don't place the entire frying pan in the oven and then handle it ungloved

imago, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 20:00 (three years ago) link

What I'm trying to say is, that was a one-off and I'm learning
