For awhile now, I’ve been coming by head-fi less and less. My headphone setup has more or less stabilized and I’ve had less motivation to sit down and actually discuss audio. As such, I’ve been spending more and more time in the member’s lounge just chit chatting. However, the limitations of the lounge have been getting to me lately. Without religion or politics, things are really whitewashed. It’s all puppies, sunglasses and beer.

So.. I think it’s time I moved on to a new forum community. I need somewhere with the maturity of head-fi, but the freedom to talk about real issues. I want to be able to talk about religion, politics, society, education, without ridicule or moderation. I need a community consisting of a diverse group of people, who, though they have their own beliefs, they are still willing to listen to the views of others. I need a place that’s the exact opposite of genmay

So give me a link, and I’ll be off to my brave new world.

Great start, but how about someplace less crackpot and more centrist? (I'm not trying to be sarcastic)

Link removed - probably not the kind of thing you're looking for

And that's a bad thing? I've been around long enough to remember TIO (take it outside) and I think this forum is far better off for having shut it down. There are plenty of alternative forums for you to delve into religion and politics, if that is your desire.

Honestly, is there anything else more important?

Seriously though, we can discuss politics & religion all we want in a forum, but it won't change a thing in the real world. All this does is create enemies, and that is not what Head-fi is all about. I understand and appreciate the prohibitation of politics & religion here, we are a big family and need to stay that way

BTW, the paid Genmay of hardforum.com is kickass for discussing political & religious themed topics

go to where the bunnies live and you may be happier there...
as for me, i agree that head-fi is a much better place with the restrictions and that the goal here is audio and the member's lounge is a lighthearted place to hang.

Do you remember the Outside Forum?

It was terrible.

The member's lounge isn't that bad, the only reason topics are sorta dull is cause everything that can be discussed, has been. I'm positive there are interesting subjects which don't qualfiy as politics/religion.

As for TIO, the only reason I visited was too watch the poop-flingin'. Ah, good times.
