I used to participate in a few other boards, where I still go occasionally. ..video games, mostly.
But I find that when boards get too large, I get disinterested.
By the way, I've heard that we're more liberal than most boards from a few of our more conservative members. I don't think that's by design, but it's kind of interesting.
When I started this site, I was a liberal, Fausto was a conservative ...more libertarian leaning, and Brian had no political affiliations that I knew of.
I chose my moderators later on, based on those who contributed and added something to the site. I didn't know any of their political leanings at the time.
I think it's the kind of site we are. I think that a more satirical view of the team finds liberal thinking viewership more often, is my guess.
I don't think you set up the board to be a liberal slanted board. It just happened that way. The majority of you are from Miami, and its no secret there are lots of liberals there. I made that observation merely as an observation. I thought it was interesting the contrast of this board vs the other board I frequent.
