it is my firm belief that update keeps this forum going during the slow periods.

Without the advertising revenue brought by page visits to read Update, the Atlas Forum would not be financially sustainable outside of election season.

There are plenty of threads just on the FC board alone (let alone the rest of the forum) that have many more page views than any recent season of Update.

I'm already in that camp, but honestly, I highly doubt that is gonna happen.  If it was, he'd have been banned by now.  So a sub-board is the next best solution.

Dave will never create an Update sub-board.

The only hope for an Update sub-board is to take over a currently inactive board.  May I suggest 2010 House Election Polls (moderator: Joe Republic)?  Or better yet, Town Hall (moderator: Al)?  Tongue

Taking over an election related board of any kind would be wrong on principle, even if its a marginal and fairly useless one.
 
Town Hall actually sounds perfect.
Al is no longer active a a mod so it would be de facto unmoderated - I think that's OK, but some may have a problem with it.
So maybe Eraserhead should try to set up the next Update thread on the Town Hall subboard.

I was joking about that.  Al still has mod powers over that board and is anti-Update, so he'd probably delete any Update threads that popped up there on principle.
