What is the difference between the frontroom and the backroom?

The Frontroom is BKS's and Beirut's Kingdom of Peace and Love, for fun, incontroversial things.
The Backroom is for debates and arguments on current affairs.
It was not theirs to reason why,
It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.

Re: What is the difference between the frontroom and the backroom?
The Frontroom is rigidly moderated to be non-controversial but general topics - such as family, news, advice and so on.
The Backroom is a brutal free-for-all political arena, where anything goes except personal attacks and kitten-porn.
"If there is a sin against life, it consists not so much in despairing as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this one."

Re: What is the difference between the frontroom and the backroom?
Another reason for the split was the fact that in certain times (e.g., Iraq war, US presedential elections) there were so many new threads started on politics that all the more light-hearted got quickly buried and dropped off the first page.
In restrospect I would say that the split was a very good decision, as there are a lot of patrons who enjoy the Frontroom but used to avoid the former "one-stop-shop"-Tavern as they did not like the more aggressive atmosphere.

Re: What is the difference between the frontroom and the backroom?
We might start a new dedicated subforum for that - but we would probably get complaints again that we have too many forums...Kitten-porn is off limits now?

Re: What is the difference between the frontroom and the backroom?
in order to be approved and allowed access to the solypsist-invititation-only v.i.p. subforum, one must have proven to be responsible in the back room. no one has ever gone from the front room only straight to the v.i.p. subforum
that's one of the differences few n00bs know about.

The frontroom is for posting spam with nice content, the backroom is for posting spam with policial content

In the Frontroom you post flash links to Badgers and Mushrooms and scarysnakes and in the Backroom you discuse the merits of preserving the environment of snakes and whether illegal mushrooms should be legal.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
Re: What is the difference between the frontroom and the backroom?
I don't post much of anywhere but the backroom, but in retrospect some of the sillier stuff i have posted should have been in the frontroom. I guess I just have this wierd feeling that I onlyu care about the opinions of the people in the backroom, so why waste thoughts on the frontroom?? I dunno.
I very seldom play TW anymore, and rarely online, but occasionally i post in the arena and the frontroom just to annoy Gregoshi (who, BTW, hates me and wont talk to me)
