Oh but we know that's not entirely true, don't we.. just ask Gordon where we send survey spammers, and watch him light up, light up, as if they have a choice.

In terms of politics, im not sure that the EU, US, NI and Theory subforums are sufficiently busy in their own right.

I wonder could thr new politics category be reduced to:
1. General Politics
2. Economy
3. Elections & Referendums
4. Cafe

Maybe there is also room for a new forum such as Justice or Crime in relation to the political issues arising from court cases, new legislation, crime stats etc?

3. International. With tags eg US; EU; Asia; etc
4. Theory

Theory doesnt have much going on at the moment. I was thinking keep the busiest sub forum (economy) and the elections because they get busy around election time.

The idea is that with the Cafe being busy, it will make the other politics fora look like ghost towns in comparison. so i think less is more

Tbh because IE is quite busy is a big reason to bring it in!

Anyway I've posted it in the forums discussion on the rules thread to get user feedback and we can go over them in the mods forum, with a view of getting back here Monday at the latest.

This is going to be going live today. I'm going to start a new thread to gather all feedback on the rolled out update.
