NCAP

[gbb]

Without it, a lot of threads on here would get derailed with opposite sides of the political spectrum bickering with each other.

As used to regularly happen. Best thing they ever did was hive it off to a separate area. And yet..despite the intransigence that used to spoil it ...I miss certain aspects of it.

Absolutely this. Describing it as a "cesspit" is seriously wide of the mark.

Maybe in part because the subject matter is complex with many aspects (even from the same perspective) and often relating to a changing situation. Take a brief casual glance and it might appear a mess of differing views unlike eg "What SUV Do You Drive" which is much easier to glance at and comprehend.

Maybe NCAP even harder to glance at in that single threads often cover a multitude of different issues maybe with a common thread, often same thread with different issues intermingled. To see it for what it is takes time and if the subjects discussed are not of interest then no point - just ignore it (and be rude about it).

A lot of threads on the main forum I don't find interesting, a few where I'd risk being too outspoken so I just ignore them (without throwing "cesspit" at them).

I think that's spot on. Part of that is because there aren't new threads posted all that often, but hey ho, it is what it is.

These "Ooooh NCAP is bad and scary" threads pop up once in a while and generally get met with the same response by folk who actually contribute to that bit of the forum and enjoy it.

Anyway there's not supposed to be discussion of it on here, so it's pretty simple really, join in or don't, but fretting about it from the sidelines is a waste of time.

There is no fretting. I was actually reading the Charlie Kirk thread and it got closed, someone had mentioned NCAP, so I went there but every time I did I got logged out. I had no idea what that area was but now I know.

Yeah, you just need a separate login if you want to post there.

Mod note. Discussion closed. OP's rather belated question has been answered plus, it is not helpful referring to the standalone forum as a cesspit. We have members who frequent the main site and NCAP.
