Manlobbi, earlier in this thread you wrote that you thought a board devoted to politics was a good idea and you were seeking a name for it. Is that still in the works?

We know from other social media sites that partisan political posts provoke a volume of replies greater than almost any other subject. The sheer number tends to drown out other topics, the way untended weeds can choke a garden. A board devoted to atheists will not approach that kind of volume if posts remain within several country miles of the topic identified in the board's name. If, as the site operator, you are interested in retaining the high volume we saw here when the conversation veered into partisan politics, providing those posters with a board where partisan political disputes are on-topic would seem like the solution.

As I'm sure you know, volume of posts is the leading identifier of internet trolls. A board devoted to atheists, particularly on a nascent site like this one, is going to be quiet sometimes. And that's . . . okay, as Stuart Smalley used to say.
