Bring Back Free Chat

Given the form is slow again I see no reason why we shouldn't bring back free chat again. Well, it was a source of disagreement it was also a source of very energetic posting.

Re: Bring Back Free Chat

But is it the kind of energetic posting that we really want?  We are a space forum, after all, and I'm not sure what place political debate has here.  That said, I can bring it up with Josh next time I talk to him and ask if he wants to put the rule into abeyance as an experiment and see what happens.

I remember some good energy in past free chat discussions but at the same time I remember them at times taking up too much conversation on these boards. Anyway, if these boards pick up without free chat I'm cool with that too. It does seem to be getting more active around here.

Sometimes, leaving the toilet seat up *is* a solitary act of definance.

Added up, it could move worlds.
