hi, can we get a political board? For people who would actually like to debate without being called a newb or some other random name. For people who want REAL discussion because quite frankly, im tired of these so called intellectual conversations mainly in system wars, which as far as i can see, is the closet thing to debates/discussion.

 What does anyone thnik?

I don't like the idea of a political board. This is a gaming website and boards like this should not be created. I am sure there will be unions out there that discuss what you want to discuss and even if there isn't, you can always create one.

I follow your logic but there are boards that already exist that have nothing to do with gaming, such as the off topic board...maybe create a sub-board, under the off topic board? Im sure there are people that will express deep thought opinions in there and it can only lead to more content for GS.

Political unions & UCB have to get exist.

There is no need for a political board. Yes there might be Off-Topic, but every forum I know has one.

I'd love to see a politcal board but unfortunately this IS a gaming website and such a board simply doesn't fit.  Admins - if you do add one I won't whine!

Honestly, a political board is going to bring a huge amount of trouble. I know you guys like to debate and stuff, but you know there's going to be all kinds of flaming over there. It's a touchy subject, and people get heated about things like that. I would say that it's best to stay with a union or something along those lines, where a leader/officer can monitor things all the time.

Yes, the off topic board is there but that means you can talk politcal talk in there since politcal talk is off topic from gaming. We do not need a politcal board on GameSpot.

There is already a political union called Church & State .

The Conservative Union is a good one for right wingers.

If you want a place to talk about politics in a game players rich environment just create a union i'm sure it will attract like minded people.
