People do know there are other, more mature political boards out there, even redit has well moderated and civil political subredits.



BF's politics is not political discussion, it's the trolling and flaming equivalent of Meltdown. Even Stormfront 2.0 does not allow the racist crap that Lokmar can post at BF, probably because Stormfront 2.0 is under 24 hour NSA monitoring.



BF is a niche forum that lost most of it's core base when all the CBT blow ins blew into BF. He is stuck babysitting people of "the community" that are not capable of posting anywhere else. Where do Flynn, Lokmar and Benzo go if BF closes?


That's why the board is closed to lurkers and only registered members can view threads.



Reddit is garbage and has a massive lefty bias. BF is a good forum in my opinion. It obviously isn't to everybody's taste and is far from perfect, but in this day and age where forums are going the way of the dodo, it's in pretty good standing in terms of daily traffic.


BF recently opened thread viewing to lurkers this week.

All subs?

No, the super secret penis room that ppl pay for access to and meltdown are currently 'private'.  Thread viewing for non registered/not logged in has changed many times.  Seems the cat herders enjoy just changing stuff up.

I will take a look.

I skimmed through BF. Some of the subs, like Sports, Gaming, and Death I got no interest in, so I didn't look. Meltdown does, but it's private. Politics is a write off. Damn, it sucks. Introductions and General Discussions has some interesting stuff, but most of the cool stuff is old. Nah, I aint joining that forum.

Many forums are cracking the whip on politics....like a canary in the coal mine for real life.



The future of discourse looks bleak and the smell of civil war lingers.


As I mentioned  before...it's the relentless petty American politics, particularly regarding the Libs vs the Cons. I realise it's an American-based forum, but for fuck sake's, it's a load of drivel with a handful of blowhards rinsing and repeating daily. And not to mention a complete nutter that wants to write essays of tripe. * Tripe~ Cow stomach dish from Pommyland.



Shit behaviour!


Absolutely.  They use politics as a vessel to vent their grievances about their own internal dysfunction.  Easy to point and say "them, those people..." when it's really about themselves.

It's always been about themselves...and fuck the consequences and forum too. Immature behaviour and schoolyard angst. Good luck to them and their squabble.

I don't mind a good political argument. But, not the way they do it on BF. You can read the bullshit they call content now. No thanks.

Stereotyping a person's political stance is off. Over there it's always a case of the extremes. You're either far left or far right. Finding a balance and having a pleasant discussion is virtually impossible.

It's totally partisan and no discussion of issues.

There is no intent to discuss policy or political affairs, it's just another way to troll.
