I have a feeling that you're right and this may have to do with the amount of Political topics that came up recently. I for one saw them, didn't read them so I don't really know what happened inside. But from what I hear they we're fairy controversial.

I don't think chit-chat section should be prohibited and we can leave that discussion here

Though, something I've seen aren't entirely 100% appropriate. One thread for example is the one about Adam Richards and myself (which is now closed). I look back on that now and it just seems so...childish? And actually, I'd like to say that I'm sorry for allowing that thread to get so big, I should of requested that it be closed it along time.

Yes, Chief Delphi is a FIRST Forum but does everything have to be about it...not really. Just a quick browse threw the chit-chat forum and you see allot of threads that carry on stories about a certain topic that may be a spin off of something FIRST related. And then you see some things about what people who are in FIRST may have in common (AP Test scores, watching the world cup..etc, etc) they have nothing to do with FIRST but yet give us a common place to discuss something we may or may not know about.

I think in the end, it's all up to Brandon and the moderators. We shouldn't take advantage (not calling anyone out, just a statement) of what they're providing for us by posting things that could incriminate FRC 47, their sponsors or anything, anyone or any form of any I may have missed.
