Need for A New Broad Based Forum

[cwdickens]

In part, due to the cancellation of America East Conference Fall Sports and CAA Football, I see the need for a new forum category perhaps titled: Politics, Economic and Social Concerns and Issues.

Great place for two of the newer topics under Great Danes General: "Let's get political.... or not" and "PAC-12 Football players organize....."

Just a suggestion.  Things political, economic and social will dominate the broad until sports resume.

Aka 'Off Topic'...I'm all for it. Those who don't want to frequent that section can just skip it.

Why not? There’s lots of outlets for this sort of stuff, but for the most part we’ve kept things civil which can’t be said for most social media platforms.

Ugh. The thing that could make this year worse is coming here and reading about politics.

Is the UAlbany Esports team still playing this year?

I agree with Dane Pound!!  The last political thread was PAINFUL!!

I agreed completely.  The primary reason for my suggestion is that sports and team related threads are hijacked and go places that have nothing to do with UAlbany Sports.

To answer your question: No Idea....

Since this is a broooooad forum, let's wish a happy birthday to the Best Dane Since Hamlet, who, ironically, is technically the 4th best dane since Hamlet.

Apparently....my suggestion goes against the intent of the forum... understood... sadly I have seen how others can hijack  a topic and take it places never intended.... very personal attacks .... a sad day for this forum....

Can we boot these new bots such as the one above? This not a real user.

You guys don't miss a trick.

Eli wasn't talking about you cwdickens. A spammer slipped through and posted some stuff. I banned their account. Thanks for the heads-up!
