Also, why does it nearly eclipse the entire rest of the site?

There's 1949 topics in the political forum, and every other forum combined only totals 2118. Basically, 48% of the topics are in that section. Individual posts... 17173 while the rest of the forum has 19429. Again, 47% of the posts are political.

Is politics the real reason people browse VoyeurWeb? :roll:

Just curious really... but it seems that with all the generally great content published each day, there's a lot of bandwidth dedicated to what is ultimately irrelevant to the topic at hand.

I've kinda wondered that myself, FastFive. I used to peruse that Forum and even occasionally commented on it but I don't anymore. There used to be some really rabid people posting comments there.

It sure doesn't seem to be of any relevance to naked women but maybe it keeps some of the bashers off the contri comment sections.

I'll sure be interested to see if anyone from VW actually comments on this. They say they read all the comments on the Forums and are working to improve things but I sure haven't seen much evidence of it.

In every active forum I belong to they either have a political section or they have political stuff scattered through the regular sections.

It is MUCH calmer when the political stuff is contained.

Yeah I get the concept... keep the tempers from flaring throughout the forum and have all the debate in one place.

What I don't get is that the Political section here is populated by members who post there exclusively and don't even use the rest of the site.

Just a couple of examples, copied from the first few posters in that section...

Why are these people on VoyeurWeb? :roll: They pretty much don't use the site for anything but their parochial political ranting, and contribute nothing to the topic at hand: gorgeous ladies exhibiting themselves!

It confuses me. :|

Fast five...could not the 'members' in question possibly be aliases for other members that do use this site for enjoying the 'gorgeous ladies exhibiting themselves'? If the discussions do get heated from time to time, then why would someone not take the precaution of opening a separate account and using it just in the political section? That way there is less chance of the 'debate' spilling over into the other sections...

Exactly what Jammer said.

On the RC side the PoliBB used to be nothing but an insult-fest. Now that you have to use the same registered nic most (not all) of the people who debate there try and use sound rational arguments.

Still name calling, but mostly not utter stupidity.

I like that the politics are "contained." I have seen them take over almost every thread if allowed. It makes the site go downhill.

I think some of the people are just on many sites to just "argue" politics. Best to contain them and ignore them.
