All well and good, but I also noticed that two posters from the highly politicized TCM Off Topics have already posted very political comments on the other site.
Probably won't sign up with the other one because I would just go down that bad road again and I don't need that anymore. I'll stay with movies, TV's and so forth.
So glad I didn't join that one now, I was watching to see where any of those Off Topic Political posters were going and I was going to avoid that site

I believe both of them are here as well, but hopefully will leave the politics on the other board.

No "hopefully" about it, as far as I'm concerned.

I intend to report off-topic political posts to SSO administrators and will be all over mischief-making provocateurs and gadflies like white on rice and stink on ca-ca!

Recommendation: If you don't want politics discussed on the SSO, DON'T enable and encourage troublemakers!

Were you the guy who had Charles Coburn as your avatar? I always loved that look of disgusted contempt on his face there.

Apologies for the poor formatting. I'm still learning how this site works, and the current quoting function is a mess for me.
Yeah, that was me, and my profile referred to me as a "crotchety old blankety-blank". Even though I'm younger than a lot of people who were posting to the boards.

We have: The Domestic CAT: Feline at its finest!

It currently runs ninety pages. Most of the early posts are stories of cats but it gradually transitions into mostly images and videos.

I've noticed some posters aren't on either site. Have they given up on us? :( I've been doing some poster searching on both sites. There are some people I miss already. It's not like we can count on new people just showing up like on TCM's. Unless we get some disenchanted ones from Tops board. I hope we can keep this place going.

I belong to both sites. Top Billed is trying very hard to please. He doesn't want politics talked about either. That's why there's no category for it Top-billed pointed it out to one of the posters that was talking about politics. Told him to be respectful but also pointed out there's no category for it.

Yeah, LMREO! Ham wasn't half as bad as Movie though.
