Do we want a section just for gun/weapon discussions?
The mods have already discussed, and all feel it's a good idea. What does VBOT think?
Poll is multiple choice, so everyone can vote and have their pie too. Also, feel free to suggest a clever name for the section. |

I am not a gun owner, but I feel it's part of the culture of this site. Leave it as it is.
I would not frequently enter a sub section on guns, even though I appreciate the content, just like I rarely make the babes section. OT is everything here. |

While the idea of a separate section for different topics seems like a good idea in theory, the principle just doesn't work.
Why? For whatever reason, many people who would normally participate in such threads simply don't look past any other forum than Off Topic. It seems to me that the FEW people who don't like gun threads can hit the back button, rather than requiring the MANY people who don't mind or actually like gun threads to go to a subforum which will see far less traffic than Off Topic. In my humble opinion. |

OK, but you'll be moving threads every five minutes.

I don't care either way. The many threads on that topic don't bother me at all. This is why I want everyone to decide. |

I do visit other actual gun forums, but they can be quite stuffy and full of BS rules. Here, not so much. And if doesn't interest you, don't click.

Interesting that the vote tally doesn't reflect the comments so far.

Accidentally hit "Yes" and voted. In the final tally, debit the "Yes" column and credit the "No" column, please.

If I wanted a separate gun thread, I go to S&W Forum, or a myriad of other forums on the net that satisfies specific questions or needs that I have at any given point.
The VBOT forum is a totally separate demographic, which I frequent for other reasons,.VBOT gun threads attract people who would normally not be in a S&W or reloading forum. That kind of puts things into perspective sometimes, and I feel that would be lost if Guns got their own forum, and those people didn't post in there. I say keep them in OT.... |

It appears that the YES voters simply don't feel like expressing their views to a bunch of armed, opinionated people. Can't say that I blame them, now that I think about it. |

The gun freaks need their own sandbox where they can shoot each other to their hearts content, and we don't have to look at it constantly. It's supposed to be a CAR forum.
