Re: To chit chat or not to chit chat
If webspace is an issue, then I say that Chit-Shat should be the first thing to be eliminated definately.

If webspace is not an issue, why get rid of it? It's only a portion of the whole community that FIRST is based on. Maybe you can have the option like stated before by someone to turn it off.

But, if you are like me, you hate missing something. I have the OCCRA threads available to me even though I don't participate in that. I vote to make it user selectable if that would be possible, or even a more extreme idea would be to shut off the Chit-Chat section during the period from January to maybe April?
(Idk.. a bit extreme way of handling it, but it could be done..??)

If liability is an issue and it becomes a liability to keep the CC section, then this is truely beyond our control and only Team 47 and/or Delphi will have the last say in that. But seriously, I have not seen anything that would prompt the immediate shutoff of the Chit-Chat section.

I am a big supporter of free speech, and while some things have been posted in Chit-Chat that do not have to do with FIRST and some stuff has even been controversial to a point, that's why we have these wonderful moderators.

If anything, get rid of the Rumor Mill if you can't take a joke or whatever your reason is behind eliminating the Chit-Chat section.
