[NSC] Close the Coronavirus sub-forum and move threads back to the main board?

[Frutos]

I often forget it's there.

So do I, and on a personal level that's exactly why I think it should stay separate.

I can go to any news site I like and read about Covid ad infinitum. I like having at least one place where I don't have to see it all the time.

much prefer it as it is and i never forget it's there - would prefer to have the good news one moved there also. check it often.

It should stay there. I thoroughly enjoy reading interesting opinion, debate, and albion information on nsc but the covid thread just desended into a vitriolic mess of repetitive argument and name calling. That's not a discussion!

 

[Gully Forever]

Surely people can find plenty of other sites to discuss and find out information on Coronavirus and other completely off topic stuff.

Turning this board into a mammoth broad discussion mess, Is not a good idea. I come here purely to talk about the Albion.

 

[Chief Wiggum]

For me the NSC main board should just be about The Albion and football in general. That's all.

By all means have sub forums for other subjects if you wish, but Trump/Brexit/Covid19/Anti-Semitism etc etc are a toxic waste of space that can be discussed endlessly on other sites if you wish.

NSC has been undergoing a highly positive renaissance after the introduction of the Bear Pit.

It's now an oasis quarantined from the desert of internet poison.



I'm not fussed either way about the CV forum. Bad threads can always be booted into the Bear Pit anyway.

I have to admit that I very rarely look at the bear pit or the CV forums.

I must admit to having missed some ot the extremist excrement from some of the regulars on there

I do see where you are coming from, but NSC has such a balanced political view that never gets bought into COVID, whereas the press is so LEFT and untrustworthy.

So if I just watch the news and read the press, form a common-sense view after cutting out the political nonsense.

Conclusion

No arguing, debating or flouncing needed.

Yeah, you're right, keep it there.

This. Covid is absolutely everywhere else on the internet. Football and NSC are my escape. I don't mind the extra moderating effort that comes with shifting chancy threads into the sub-forum.

Im new and haven’t really offered much, so I know my opinion isn’t much, but I’ve been going back through threads just to try and get to know he board and its people better so I can be a better poster (currently about a year back). IMO the board is better with C19 and politics not on TBB.

I have tried once or twice to give a real time update about our situation over here as my wife is a ICU doc in Nashville treating these patients, and I should maybe avoid doing that in random threads.

Please retain both changes made.

Prior to [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION]’s move, the Main Board and New Posts pages were clogged up by party political and CV19 grandstanding threads. The same characters were starting new threads on a daily basis, very often variations on similar themes, to draw in political allies and foes.

Most folk are not highly politicised and angry, they lead normal lives, sometimes happy lives would you believe.

NSC is back to its old self.

We all know where to look for CV19 and political discussions.

Well said.
NSC was becoming tiresome until recently.

Don't worry. Keep it relevant and your input is as valuable as any.

I've seen a couple of your references to your Mrs, mainly in jest, as you put us to shame with your alcohol and BBQ skills. That absolutely puts your ability compared to our UK based efforts in context. However, a thread about signing a 30 million Euro rated French striker may not be the place for it - but you knew that already. Carry on being you and you'll be fine.

If you've not seen it, there's a thread in the Covid sub forum about CV19 and the US. I think your input would be excellent, but i don't know if it's there already. I'm generally trying to avoid it and stick to the stuff I know - football, booze and music!

Could just move the main covid thread onto the main board, keep all the side topics together though?
