Off Topic Changes...
While I believe that a good community should be able to talk about anything (within reason), many have complained that too many of the "new posts" are coming up with religion and politics threads.

I am not discouraging this conversations as long as they remain civil. I did take steps to clean the board up for new visitors and those that do not care to see those posts. I have removed water fountain, religion and politics, and sports categories from the "view new posts" listings. Those that enjoy these conversations know where to find them.... I have also made the post count in religion and politics and sports not count towards post counts. I left the regular water fountain to count though.

I hope this can make everyone happy and let Aximsite continue to be a great community and resource for all types...

Fascist! (Just kidding )

I think it is a very good solution to the problem.

Thanks for finding a good compromise.

Great way to handle it I believe. I am a newbie and it sounds like you have a great handle on things.

That was quick - I'm impressed! I think you've handled the situation quite gracefully. It's refreshing to see a discussion board that has an off-topic area that is not constrained by arbitrary limits.

I do not often post in those areas but I do enjoy reading the views the other members have and they are some. Good thinking on your part.

Great idea in not displaying those "extraneous" topics and posts. This had been annoying me for a while now, but I didn't think anything could be done about it. Thanks!
