          The OT covers politics quite well (some would say it does it too well)

          That said, I think that a seperate history forum is a good idea. IMO the OT moves too fast to allow historical discussions and such a forum would fit in well with a site dedicated to what are essentially historical games (except for SMAC )

              History forum would be great I've been a strong advocate of this ever since I saw the counterpart on CivFanatics but the mods don't seem to like it

                  If I want a serious history/political discussion, Poly is not the place I go.

                      we have Off-Topic, so we don't need Politics/History
                      Forum. they are interesting subjects of course.

                        It would become like the Off-Topic, with continuous pitched battles between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian users. Why do you think I hardly go in the Off-Topic any more?
                        Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.

                          This is exactly why I would want a history forum (and not a politics/history one). Flame wars, trolling, etc are much less likely to happen in a forum dedicated to events and people which are already dead and buried...

                              The primary purpose of Apolyton's forums are to first cover the gaming titles that Apolyton covers and related titles (e.g. "Alternate Civs / Other Games"). History/politics are off-topic discussions and will thereby continue to be discussed in the "Off-Topic" forum.
