    No, just provoked or enticed or well you get the picture. If the shoe fits.

    A whole damn forum, years of epic post all for 2 frappin threads? Really?

    Good, b/c otherwise, one might suggest that you find a new catchphrase. But carry on, for your own financial benefit.

    The name Free Speech Alley carries with it the connotation of political discussion. I know that the meaning of the term Free Speech means you can talk about whatever you want but still that name has come to be associated with politics. It doesn't seem like the place for threads like Celebrity Deaths or Little Known Facts or topics about music, the Joke Thread, ect.

    Why not create a new Roundtable or if you have a better name in mine use it and bring back those requested acceptable threads and then delete the others

    I planned on starting my own thread called "Pussification of America" but I guess I'd have to put in the free speech area now, or maybe under recruiting.

    I can come up with more stuff but I weep for the fact that much of my humor, observations and informative tidbits have been swept away by the tidal wave of political correctness and lost to mankind forever.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Point 1 raises a couple of questions though. If it was a five year old thread, when was the last time someone posted in it? And wouldn't it have been more expedient to delete the thread instead of the forum? I also definitely understand you don't have the time to go through each thread of a forum, but it seems that somebody did and moving everything to FSA won't prevent such threads -- or searches -- in the future.

    My vote would be a separate Roundtable forum because FSA -- at least from my understanding -- was designed to be more political and adversarial where the Roundtable was for discussion not of that sort. In fact, if I remember correctly, several times @red55 would caution debaters in the Roundtable that FSA was the proper place for such discussions.

    That said, it's your world; we just live in it and will have to play by the rules.
