Status: offline 		I try not to buy any more wine, but still enjoy the camaraderie of forum discussions that do not pertain directly to wine. Some topics have shown to be of interest to others such as: music, art, sports, family (grand kids). I am curious if others would like threads similar to Active Users and Joe le Taxis for these subjects.

Serge, you are inspiration enough for your own thread! I was tempted.

My facebook is polluted by people from my life who are bent on posting Politics. I don'y go there much these days. I even put up Champagne InHand as an alternate facebook identity to eliminate the political nonsense.

I am +1 on NWR topics here as long as they meet CT guidelines banning politics...and other things.

yeah, showing "other things" might get you in trouble, REAL trouble!

I agree with this too, although I would prefer smaller discrete topics (like the "Greatest albums of All Time" one which was recently active) rather than one big topic called "NWR : Music".

Status: offline 		For those who post on Wine Berserkers, there is a forum called The Asylum. It's for "everything else".

I have built some wonderful friendships off of CT, and part of that comes from our ability to discuss just about anything and to (generally) have fun and do it civilly. But I know there are many people who have pared back their posting on this site because the topics so frequently diverge from wine.

My vote, if it were possible, would be to have Eric add a new forum. There is much we can share and enjoy, but it gets a bit much when we are coming here to think and talk about wine to have all that showing up amidst the Wine threads.

Just my .02

Status: offline 		Scott, I tend to agree with both points. Eric seems to like it the way it is. I would utilize a NWR category and leave Wine Talk just for wine, some like the community and other just want information. While I visit Berserkers, I post less there. It is a different crowd with some cross over. I think people here are more comfortable here and try hard to remain civil.

I think the reason behind civility here is bigger percentage of doctors and lesser percentage of lawyers compared to WB!

I like the NWR threads that pop up and the Active Users thread for life comments in between.

And given the low "foot traffic" CT Forum gets compared to every other wine forum, I really don't think it would be opening up that big a can of worms.

Seriously, outside of the inconvenience to ourselves having to switch forums, I really don't see this as a big issue other than if it posed any kind of inconvenience or technical challenge for Eric.

Hmmm...didn't know that was part of the job description.  May need to ask for a pay raise.

Having just spent two days in the cellar of one of the biggest, most generous a-holes on this board, I consider that a term of endearment.
