[QUOTE=twickster] As to whether or not such a forum would be redundant to GD: There are some people, myself among them, who never set foot in GD, because my impression is that it’s all the frothing ideologues going after each other. I don’t want to argue about God or Dubya – but occasionally something comes up in the news that I’d like to get some Doper commentary on. [/QUOTE] I agree with this statement completely and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. (A.K.A., I won’t touch GD with a ten foot pole.) ---

[QUOTE=C K Dexter Haven] The feeling of the moderators at this point, with the acquisition of the READER, is that we should hold off on changes until we have a better idea of what’s what and what the future holds. [/QUOTE] This sounds like the best plan of action, but had I been here before, I’d add that I would like a forum of that sort. Also, I hope it will be kept in mind once we do know what the future holds… Brendon Small ---

Pending more information/guidance from management, there’s really not much we can do here yet, so I’m closing this thread. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/suggestion-for-new-forum-current-affairs/413536.md?page=2)
