Hogaan!
I'm all for it. It needs to be done.
If this poll doesn't work, maybe we can send out a survey with the next ON?

Can't Someone Else Do It?
As long as I don't have to do the administration!
Can I get a day pass for that forum, to see if I like it?

I voted for rubber room, as it seems that when these thread start, they allude to a desire for debate, when in all likelihood that's the last thing the poster is after.
A rubber room would allow the poster to throw out whatever they liked with the assurity that they'll only get back exactly what they want to hear, their own opinion.

Only if you volunteer
I would suggest that we make it moderator-free, no holds barred, anything goes, enter at your own risk...maybe some sort of restricted access: club member, over 21, that kind of thing, let people throw bottles, cut each other, go nuts. And the rest of us can watch and rotfl.
Am I going to be forced to moderate because it was my suggestion?

I would help, but I have my hands full of nothing.
Another good name would be Barking Moonbat section
Any person that talks about politics long enough could turn into one.
I know I would.

Hmm... in addition to your plan, I'd also like to add a "cage match" or maybe some bare-knuckle boxing at the National each year?
In all seriousness, we should probably still have limits. Even "Jo Momma" on advrider has rules... so I don't think it would be out of line to have a certain code of conduct. No nude pics (advrider has a "no nipple" limit), no threats, no comments about the other persons family... maybe that would be enough. Regardless, MOA MEMBERS ONLY... again, keep that stuff out of the google cache (search for your username on google and see all the campfire posts you've made) - and keep it hidden until AFTER people pay to join the club.

OK, some limits are probably a good idea.
But maybe we could have a thumbs up/down vote for each participant at the end each battle/thread. Yeah, that's the ticket, 10 rounds of 24 hours per round, anyone who's smart enough to not post can vote at the end of the bout.
"We who are about to die salute you!"

You stole my idea. I notice many people had some sort of martial arts in their interests in the thread of the same name. I was thinking more along the lines of a "battle for the bike" at the National. If somebody wanted the bike bad enough, they may not even have to be a martial artist, just desperate. People could sign up ahead of time and we would allow late entries only if their bike had a problem on the way to the national and they were fed up with it.

Can we call it "Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics"?
Either that, or something incorporating the words "poo", "monkey" and "fling".

No, we dont need it
WouldnÔÇÖt this type of forum be the department of redundancy department? Craigslist has it ÔÇ£Rants and RavesÔÇØ where all manner of demeaning discourse is coursing. The Jo Mamma forum on ADV rider has it already. If we want to express the most base of our personality traits there are lots of outlets. The best outlet is person to person where one can know who they are insulting and to whom they are presenting themselves as a damn fool.
Frankly I donÔÇÖt need another venue where I can be reminded what an ass I am.

If you don't like something, don't read it. Let's play where your lack of thinking things through takes us.
Would, for example, Global Warming theory be under:
Politics
Science
Voodoo
Law
Government
And many more come to mind.
Campfire is for all other things. Leave things alone and if you think you might be challenged in thought or beliefs, don't read the post.
Let's think a little further since there's been no thinking this through. Let's say X writes about how well his or her trip was but they encountered several government controlled items such as speed traps, a polluted road or stream, a criminal act, and more. Does this string get moved to politics? For that matter, what you're jumping the gun about (Global Warming theory) I wouldn't even think would be in politics.
Hysteria.

And another thing
This flimsy reason for a supposed additional forum is (I'm not really sure) because people cry if something offends them.
So, my fine feathered friends, aren't people also going to see the same things in another forum if one is created? So, then, what becomes the point of creating an additional thread?
(just shaking my head at the rampant emotionalism without thinking things through)
