Mat is no doubt thrilled with all the thoughtful input he has received on the matter so far.

Well I think people aren't weighing in because it's a ******ed thing to be arguing about, and that's coming from someone with like 5000 posts in the ****ing politics forum for christs sake.

Well if this particular topic is somehow worse than the 1000th time you guys troll each other over the fantasyland concept of ACism then yeah, it is pretty bad.

Exactly! "Oh noes my arch internet nemesis got given another forum and now people might post there for a month instead of under my control. How will 2+2 ever function if there are 2 places to ask the correct way to tie my laces, or how to talk to a girl in starbucks without throwing up all over yourself?"

I must say this whole thread has made me want to go post in AA when I had no desire before. I probably won't, but still.

I think I have a tell on one of my morning bridge opponents. If he bites into his english muffin, he has minimum 18 hcp.

If his partner opens strongly, and he shows the tell, should I start interference bidding to try to prevent a slam, or just pass so he doesn't catch on that I can read him?

The rule is this: You spot a man's tell, you don't say a ****ing word. You finally spotted his and usually you should let him go on chewing those muffins till he is dead broke. But you don't have that kind of time. You've only got till morning.

I don't understand why it should bother mods if a new forum takes a away some of the traffic from the forum they are moderating. Are you on some revenue sharing plan that I am not aware of?
Let's take the example of the NFL forum. I guess that will draw some of the traffic from the Sports forum. Why is this a big deal as long as the Sports forum still has a sufficient amount of traffic?
I have no opinion on wether there should be more or less forums on 2+2. From what I have gathered here I get the impression that some moderators see it as part of their realm being annexed.

LouisCyphre- I think it's pretty clear that Daryn and Killa are emotionally invested in OOT and it has detracted from their arguments. On a sidenote I think you should be careful because Daryn is going to fire you.

As a combat veteran of the 82d Airborne Division I am offended by the abbreviated name of this new forum. AA is for us and the drunks and **** the rest of you.

you guys pretty much all have no idea. it's not about the OOT traffic. OOT definitely will not be the most affected forum. if you guys had ANY IDEA how much debate from al sides goes into the creation of ANY new forum EVEN ONES THAT MAKE SENSE TO SPLIT OFF the you would see my side of this.

I thought the whole idea behind the playground was to give trial runs to new forums. I think that's how the Video Game forum started.

But out of the posts shown, you come off pretty bad. Calling ElliotR a ******, threatening to get people fired....It just looks terrible. Why do you think Mat Sklansky wanted to show these posts?
