I applaud this decision.

For too long NationStates has been forcing people with mutually incompatible personal ideologies to communicate with, and confront, each other.

The new ideologically purified forums will ensure that we never have to encounter someone we disagree with unless we choose to, in which case we would probably deserve everything we get.

I can now look forward to engaging in intellectually stimulating conversation with like-minded people about the issues that really matter, like why St. Cyril of Alexandria isn't personally responsible for the decline of Christianity, how the office of Prime Minister developed over the last 200 years in the unwritten British constitution, why Mein Kampf is not a theist document, and demonstrating through the following piece of graphically pornographic picspam that not only do I have one of the largest penises on NSG - but that I really know how to use it, ladies <masculine tiger roar>.

I for one think that those so called Discussion Zones are nothing else than death camps for the righteous people of NSG to killed off while a new breed of people will take over the forum!

Starting now, NSG is being replaced with the aforementioned discussion zone forums. Remember to conduct yourself appropriately for the new sections. I mean it, this is completely serious business. Really!

We are in favour of closing NSG and creating seprate liberal and conservative forums. Perhaps this will cut down on the number of "butthurt" posts in moderation. :lol:
