As it has been explained to me, however, GD generates traffic and users, and traffic and users make site sponsors happy, so GD isn't going anywhere.
When I had my GTO I belonged to a forum for them and they had a rule against any political discussion at at all. Tough to do on a gun forum where our topic is threatened by politics, but I thought it was one of the best rules I've ever seen on any forum.
I like the GD cuz I think it's kinda cool to see how the various members are wired on various subjects. Especially the ones who really go out of their way to help us the other topics. Plus, you can usually tell when a gd is gonna be shut down. I simply enjoy most of them.
I do have one hot button that the really helps me on the GD and when I see a poster suggesting we need more gun control for this, that and the other....I'm inclined to never offer any suggestions they may have that are gun related and need help on the other sections. Maybe a character flaw on my part, but at least I know who is with us & it weirds me out to help a guy who wants to restrict my freedoms.
I view it as a guy going on a hot rod forum, asking how to get faster times on his 1/4 top fuel, but insisting the world drive hybrids & bycylcles to work....the hell with them.
