If some one suggested we will rename "Non Aviation Politics Forum into "Helicopter VTOL" forum me, and probably many others, would totally applaud that
Because this is an aviation forum.
There are so many better places political discussion can be held. And it's only a click away!
I'm not arguing with you — I don't think politics should be discussed here at all, but a large number of very vocal users believe otherwise. Furthermore, a large number of users who enjoy participating in Non Av, but don't want to see it dominated by political discussion, want sanity restored to that forum. Until the "probably many others" wanting a Helicopter VTOL forum start getting more vocal, we'll still be discussing this in another decade. As of now, there has been zero evidence of those many others you speak of — in nine months, only two other people have posted in support of the idea. We aren't going to advocate for a new forum that's posted to once a week by three users. As it is, there are a large number of users who seem to hate the idea of having subforums to begin with, so we'd get complaints from more users than it seems would actually participate in the forum.
I'm not trying to bash your idea, because if users wanted it, then the other moderators and I would support it. But, we're not going to get behind an idea that seemingly isn't very popular. I'm not talking anecdotally, I mean actual evidence of more than just a couple of users endorsing the idea.
