The thing is, I really didn't enjoy it - it's like I was a soldier fighting in the trenches every day and I just did it to do it. Why? What's the point in bickering with the same people day in and day out who seemingly take opposite positions on everything just to do it? Sounds like the definition of insanity to me. I've often said that if I had an Indian name, it would be Argues With Idiots. But what does that say about me? I don't give a shit what they think, and they don't give a shit what I think, so why bother? Plus, at the end of the day, the election is over, my guy won, I'm happy, and I neither feel the need to gloat or relive the constant conflict. If I want to discuss politics now I do in Facebook groups with like-minded people, and I ignore or simply unfollow my handful of liberal friends/relatives who are seemingly becoming even more unhinged now than they were before. I'll occasionally lock horns with somebody, but occasionally is enough - not every goddamn day. Don't need it, don't want it.

I'm in a better place now, and I'd like to stay there.

Well damn. I was hoping that I'd convince you. Over the years, I've had my epiphany about politics/religion on this forum. I've certainly said my fair share of shit, and hadn't a fair amount flung back. But, I don't take any of it to heart. It's just words. Life's too short.

Wish I had learned that in Catholic school.

What about an ON TOPIC Chiefs (or otherwise?) subforum that you aren't concerned about leaving open in work? Where people can disagree - but you aren't called a no good mo****F***** who f***s grown *** in the *** while g****** sp*** in the sho***? I'll know I'll get grief over this - which proves my point. Disagree if you want, but you don't have to tell me to f******* sho*** a tr** in my ****. Just saying.

How would you do that? Limit threads to certain number of pages? Posts? It's a mega thread because people are posting it it.

The Eric Berry extension thread is an example. The thread started 6 mos ago. If some new news about Berry's extension comes out, just start a new thread. If I see an old thread with 10 pages of replies pop up, I have no desire to click on it and wade through all that old crap.

For those of us who love baseball, I think most have no problem posting in a megathread (Royals or Cards) as many posters here do not care about baseball and they shouldn't have to sift through daily baseball threads on the main page. Same thing with college basketball too. I think mega threads for those things make sense and aren't as difficulty to follow.

Day 1, Day 2 or Day 3? Sure.

But megathreads tend to turn off people, so when draft rolls around, there are scores of "Who the **** is this guy? Is he any good?", which inevitably leads to "Dozens of us have been talking about this guy all year".

It just seems counter-intuitive, to me.

Agreed. It's extremely rare I even open a megathread, much less post to it. That shit is AIDS. That's one reason I'm a big proponent of using sub-forums, and kind of a reason I lost my shit last year. I like being able to go to the topic area I want to discuss and find the thread about what I want to discuss, rather than wading through a 300 page pile of dung.

we keep all the Cardinals talk in one thread to avoid spamming the board with non-Chiefs threads. Been that way since 2004 or so. Makes it easy to put on ignore too. Might be a good template to use for other subjects. Megathrears easily placed on ignore that doesn't clutter up the front page.

But abusive language and behavior needs to be bled out of that forum. Unfounded articles from blatantly partisan sources need to be labeled as much, like they do on Reddit. It's the number one complaint everybody has of that page.

I think mods kind of get tired of trying this approach and having it blow up in their faces, but it's worth doing as much as possible anyway.
