that's why you ban the ones that can't be civil instead of ruining it for everyone else...

Very true and it is all limited to only one place, so it keeps it nice and clean. Also, you don't have to ever look in that area to see unrelated Jeep stuff.

Just an idea to try to clean up the post listing and make it a little more Jeep related.

cheers.
That's how it is now man. If you aren't logged in, Anything and Everything(non-Jeep posts) doesn't even show up. Just the jeep threads show up.

But you can't see what posts are new since the last time you logged in, per the OP's request. We're looking into it....not sure if it's possible, but we're looking at it.

I for one like to talk about VARIOUS subjects including Politics with people I have things in common with (Jeeps). After all how many fucking times do we need to here about "gas mileage"? Some of the "off" threads on here have been the most popular, if not entertaining (when Dooj and I get started), including politics.

ps. What's next? Getting rid of the "eyeful a day thread"? My blood preasure has never been so low!

The OP still has to click on the A&E thread to open it, then the actual political thread itself. I mean IF the bitch is about political threads in the A&E don't click them. Click the other funny, useless, mildly accurate, mildly inaccurate stuff. Or everytime you see a political title start a thread about something else. Can't think of any specifics, maybe start a thread about anything and everything. I didn't see very many threads on page one of A&E today.

You mean sorta like that little button you click on to go into a post? It's real simple. If you don't wanna read it, don't click on it. If you click on somethin and find out it's not somethin you don't wanna read, stop readin it and find another section.

X2.. don't click the thread....unfortunately politics is what closes our trails, or keeps them open. We have been fighting this battle for over 20 years, trust me, it is not going away.

If you read the description of the sub-forum it will inform you of things that will be potentially discussed. If you choose to enter, then you will see the list of threads that have been posted. If you choose to open that particular thread, and see something you don't like, then close it. I am being a little sarcastic b/c its really not that difficult of a concept to understand. Just stay away from the A&E sub-forum and that will solve your problem.
