Lack of new people is killing the backroom and the entire forum

[Hooahguy]

Obama taking office and the ensuing media lovefest. The liberal media took it easy on him (at least for a while), while for the most part the conservative media went on a continuous, ugly rant about socialism, with veiled racism on the side, instead of just blasting his policies with decent arguments and good reporting. USA-related Backroom threads at this point changed, with liberals (US version) on the defense while the conservatives went into attack mode, this generally doesn't make for good conversation. And to the last...

Ok I resent the label of us Conservatives being labeled as closet racists. While there are Conservatives out there who are racist, there are a very small minority, and for the most part, Conservatives like me (well Im more independent than anything else but whatever) hate Obama's policies, not his race. If you stopped only looking at Fox News for Conservative talk, you would see there are many very good, valid, Conservative talking points out there. Just saying.

Also dont forget how before there was no Israel/Palestine thread moratorium. I remember during/after the Gaza war the thread went on for about 300+ pages before it was locked. Then something like four more, also spanning 100+ pages each sprung up over the next three months. Then the moratorium was issued by BQ, then there wasnt for a long time. Then I left because I was spending too much time on these forums and not enough time doing school work. Plus the stress was taking a toll on me.

why?

He just had enough of us and left.
