What if we split the Codex into two sites: RPG Codex + Political Codex?

What do you think about splitting the politics out to a separate stand-alone website + forums?

:nocountryforshitposters:
DU would obviously administrate the new forum and hand this one over to Infinitron.

Splitting the site is a dumb idea and you know it.

Just ban the vatniks and known members of the 50 cent army.

You don't even need to look at the stats to know:

It is one thing to have a political shitpost conversation while waiting for games worth discussing to be released... but posters joining just to further a political agenda should simply be purged.

If it still doesn't get better, intervene on posters who are succumbing to politics addiction:

Somehow he will manage to make all the newsposts on the Political site frontpage to also be about Obsidian.

If the site does end up getting split (I hope not), I suggest we create RPG and gaming boards on Poldex and a news section run by Roxor as Editor in Chief.

We'll see how the Poldex does against the sanitised RPG Codex.

Splitting the site seems extreme, but gotta say it does get tiresome to open an RPG thread and stumble upon 15 pages of rambling about muh SJWs or whatever. Why not just restrict the access to the politicial subforum to eliminate the newfags with fresh account and no posts about videogames.

Isn't that how it already works? You need to wait a year or pay $$$ to skip the wait.

Or just enforce no long-winded political tangents in general game threads.

Infinitron is well versed in the split thread function.
