Thoughts?
This new forum detracts from the legitimacy of 2+2 as a whole, and adds legitimacy to idiots, morons, and whiners. Thoughts?

Re: Thoughts?
Nah, good place to vent and perhaps realize that it's all about the long run as well as understanding the concept of variance in less abstract way.

Wouldn't you rather localize beats etc. and corral the whiners in one place, so as to stiffen up on-topic posts in poker-related forums? |

[/ QUOTE ] The posts in Politics, Science, Math, Philosophy, and Sporting Events are generally intelligent. I'm not going to argue with you about OOT. Obviously this board is here to stay, but no, I would rather just not allow posters to post bad beats, or, when they do, they get berated for it from regular posters until they learn not to. Posting Bad Beats encourages an incorrect way of thinking about poker, and gambling/variance in general. |

[/ QUOTE ] While lionizing beats might be an "incorrect" way to think about poker and variance, separating it from the actual forums themselves seems to indicate that thinking the "correct" way about poker means ignoring beats and variance. Establishing a place for the collective to vent seems like a good way to trim the fat from actual poker content in other forums. |

Re: Thoughts?
It seems like bad beat posts is something impossible to eradicate. Thus, making a separate forum for it, is an improvement of all the other forum, while containing the "problem".

If this can help keep bad beat posts out of normal forums than I am all for it.
