Tisk tisking and handing down "commandments" to Julie for her decision on HER Board that is operated on her time and her money is quite unnecessary, among other things. If it's that necessary to you, maybe you should start your own vBulletin board on your own domain and handle it with your time and your money. |

But, there simply hasn't been enough interest in the subject to warrant giving it it's own forum on this board. If the OP feels there is a huge unmet need out there, then he should open his own board dedicated to the subject and gather the information he is after. |
Exactly! The way we choose to determine whether or not a new forum is necessary here is by the bulk of threads generated on that topic. As of yet there have not been enough threads to warrant a new ACTIVE forum on the topic of religion. The archive are much more broken down by subject because they are just that archives (broken down distictly to make it easy to find the topics associated with pretty much ANY question that has come up on the board more than once. Some could argue that we should have active forums very EVERY one of those topics but it would be ludicrious if you think about it since in many of those cases (including the case of the religion archive) the archive contains many threads with the same question/answer set repeated by different users. EVERY thread in any of the archived forums originated in an active forum.
That said, if you want to discuss something here, discuss it, no one is stopping you from starting threads on religious subjects in the forums that already exist. Please do. If it's related to swinging and religion then by all means post it in the General Swinging forum. If it's just something related to religion then please post it in the Cafe. And if said threads get enough on-topic discussion and generate more new threads on the subject then I would agree a new forum would be necessary.
As of yet in this discussion I have yet to see enough people post that they feel the need for such a forum as is. So far the only person who feels that need is the OP, and to be honest from the original post I can't help but think that there is an agenda to his desire to see it added here.
