No that anything ever changes around here other than somewhat random thread moderation and banishment but...
My official vote is split the forum or allow a "climbing" label. I'm really good at wading through all the crap and avoiding the click, but it get's really annoying when they outnumber the climbing related threads and there's more and more BS to scroll through all time. It's out of control.
The idea about keeping it a open forum but simply adding a climbing tab to cull all the politics and other non-climbing crap away if you don't want to look at it is excellent.

Remember, since the BD carabiner recall thread is Not a climbing thread, it would be consigned to the "Other" thread if the splitter splinter faction got it's way!

Did the "split brains" prevent the spread of the seizures?
Today’s therapies for seizures are more advanced than those of the mid-20th century, and split-brain surgery is now exceedingly rare—Michael Miller, a neuroscientist at the University of California at Santa Barbara who did graduate work with Gazzaniga, told me the last one he heard of was performed around 10 years ago. Many of the split-brain patients that Gazzaniga, Sperry, and their colleagues studied have passed away.

So that works. Great idea, John M. How about it Cmac; a Climbing tab then ? More clicks for you, a climbing forum for climbers and an "all" tab for all the "wackjobs, politards and crankloons."
Well, at least, I increased if not improved my vocabulary today !

Well, problem solved. Sound reasoning and excellent ideas everyone.
Let's just sit back and wait for it to get fixed, shouldn't be long now.

Where does the Mind thread go? Only 6 people even know what the hell that is.

Exactly why it shouldn't change, there would have to be more rules and moderators to oversee the forum segregation. That'd be rad!

I have been requesting FOR YEARS that the forum be split into two places:
1. Climbing Stuff
2. Non Climbing Stuff
I have also volunteered my time and service to help make it happen.
My request and my offer remain valid.

How would you categorize the happy birthday Royal Robbins thread?
(And stop criticizing the Mind thread or placing it in the politard group. Admittedly it gets out of control on occasion, but it can be illuminating at times, and for some of us it sure beats the latest tediously dull debate about bolt placement.)

It's a smorgasbord. Take what you want. Don't bitch about what's laid out there for someone else to savor.
Some people like the razzing, tale tales, histories, herstories, legends, simple and often intimate tales, sh#t talking, joking, chain rattling, chain jerking, sweet tips, cajoling, appreciation and support for the middle of the road and even beginner climber (especially when it's so genuinely given by someone who's been there and done that) - a mix of every imaginable belief and perspective all brought together by the common appreciation for being outside and tasting a little fear, sweat, discomfort, and the joy of overcoming yourself.
One of the beauties of sitting around a campfire after a day of climbing is passionate and authentic conversation about a big mix of many things with even some of it even being about climbing.
There is definitely some crazy in the mix, but if you're real and respectful, pull up a chair.
When I was younger and everything was climbing and climbing was everything all I wanted to do and talk about was climbing I was such an incredible bore! Now I'm not quite as insufferable (as long as you don't ask my wife!). If I want to go back to that there are climbing sites that specialize in that narrow range.

I like your post Mark, but disagree with the smorgasbord analogy.
It is more like a potluck.
