Well, I was the first to boycott the other board. You'll also notice that I was the first to join the other board.
My boycott created the demand. Sorry bdw, I get all the credit.
I was the first person to accuse SR of reading u2u messages, which led to the investigation conducted by Grind and yours truly, and ultimately to the creation of this site. Feel free to thank me.
Note: I am joking.

hahahahahahaha!
to the both of you! lol
nanni, nanni, boo hoo...(sung to Ring around the rosies)

I really don't know why I am here.....?
hahahahaha!
Thinking back on it....maybe it really was because SR kept insulting me?
Maybe it was because this whole mess caught me off guard, and surprised me?
Maybe it was because I did not think that any of these actions that were done, could harm a soul and were a real good civics lesson for all of us, and on how things really work in politics...very similar to what happened on fullpolitics....and no one should have been banned for any of the actions that took place?
Maybe it was because I really did NOT think it was right for SR to to post the u2u's of others from the site, regardless of what he thought was coup in the making....though, he did apologize for this and said he was wrong?
I really have no idea, the whole thing was just infantile to me....Juvenile at best!

Yes Mbl, in the end, that was the real reason I came over here too....that is the bottom line.
Though, call me a pansy, but I do think that SR has "learned a little" from doing that.....I still never read the actual emails that he posted, I refused to do such....
And I was pretty much able to keep up with what was going on without them...

Ultimately, though, it was Grind and yours truly who laid the foundations for a Revolution.

I do need to add, that I love Sr's site...it was a great message board, a heck of alot better than politics.com, that's for certain! And much better features....! I miss it already, and probably will end up back there someday after I abstain for a bit...
I like this site too and we seem to be doing fairly well with gathering people and posts, don't you think...? for it just being around for a couple of days?
One feature about this site that makes it great is the personal ignore idiots feature that Damo gave us and look I have only had to ignore one idiot so far and he (or she) has already been banned for being an impersonator. Yes that was a hint to SR.Originally Posted by Care4all
Thanks Damo!
I think its doing well too. The good thing is damo doesn't mind input.
Shucks guys... Give me ideas. Making this a unique and fun site dealing with politics is the goal. Nothing can make it more unique than people's input on what they actually want...
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

I think the idea is to have a "Trophy Case" for the best Threads and/or Posts...Originally Posted by klaatu
I've been thinking about this one. I do have a choice to put in the "Reputation" of a poster where each poster can add or take away from the rep of a poster based on their posts... And I believe I could add a feature to give Awards to posts that one could search out... But I haven't figured a way to put them in a special area yet...
The Reputation feature tends to make it so a D or R heavy site gives high rep to their own but people on the lower end have negative rep points and no rep power to give or take from another. Basically I don't want that to happen because it tends to make those on the lower end leave the board for more friendly territory...
