Do you want a separate Brexit forum?

[editor]

I know it's a bit late in the day, but it's obvious that the topic is going to continue to be a big talking point.

There's currently about 8 pages full of individual Brexit threads scattered all over the place, so I'm thinking that we should create somewhere to stick them all in.

Advantages:

1. They're all in one place
2. More nuanced threads can be started
3. People not interested in Brexit can avoid it

Disadvantages

1. It's another forum

Got to be a poll, predict a resounding 48 52.

Only if it has all the advantages of not having it

 

[Artaxerxes]

Way to late for that

As long as it defaults to being on ignore by everybody I think probably minimal harm.

There used to be a separate Brexit forum - why was it closed? I imagine those reasons still apply, but also the disadvantges of having one were previously deemed to be outweighed by the advantages...

I'm not sure a separate forum will suddenly lead to lots of more nuanced threads tbh!

I don't remember a separate Brexit forum but it's been a long year

Freeing up space for another 350 threads per week...bus etc.

Well, in theory it might stop every new development getting lumped into the current, two parallel threads.

The separate EU referendum forum was a bad idea at the time and it is an even worse idea now.

As long as it doesnt get rid of the EU watch thread , whatever

 

[Pickman's model]

just get the brexit forum done

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Don't have a referendum. People don't understand what they're voting for.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Let’s get to work

I found some evidence:

New referendum forum

With duplicate threads appearing all over t'shop and lots more discussion to be had, I've made a dedicated Referendum sub-forum here EU Referendum and Brexit

well done: but that wasn't a separate brexit forum.

Let me get this right...
a separate forum... for all things Brexit ..
that would only contain stuff to do with Brexit
and nothing else that would normally be "Urban".

Like an urbexit forum?

It was

It was

you seem very sure on something you never saw and which was closed before article 50 invoked, starting the formal exit procedure

 

[brogdale]

I think back then I favoured the threads remaining in their discreet, separate entity but, given what we now know I regret that decsion and support them leaving a rejoining the global community of Urban P&P.

It literally had "Brexit" in its title, as evidenced by the link at the bottom of this page: Thousands join anti-Brexit demo in rain-drenched Trafalgar Square, London: full photo report

[cupid_stunt]

Shouldn't this thread be in the 'feedback forum'?

<runs>

 

[krtek a houby]

Never enough Brexit

 

[Pickman's model]

Never enough Brexit

too much is never enough

 

[ska invita]

i was against closing the old fourm
i say resurrect the old one so all the old specific threads can be found again!

 

[platinumsage]

The first poll was clear. Stop this neverendum!

 

[two sheds]

Can we call it The Argument Forum?
