HAHAHAHA. I knew I'd see a thread like this eventually.
I voted yes, it should be closed, leaving only General Gun Discussions. But only if there is a brand new channel opened up where there is NO MODERATING WHATSOEVER. I think every forum needs at least one of these channels, no matter what their position is on their terms of service. And in creating this channel, cordoned off by heavy social and legal disclaimers, it will effectively quarantine itself from the rest of the forums. Yes, it will be ugly. It may even be downright vile and evil at times. But anyone who's had problems with anything in Social Situations will go there to ventilate to the e-nets and leave the "moderated" zones alone. And who knows, maybe amidst the chaos and total anarchy, they will find order amongst themselves and develop a code, or determine a set of guidelines and ettiquette. And perhaps there are those that would wish to leave the crazy world of disorder and free-roaming opinion and return to the sensibility of a well-moderated forums (i.e. General Guns Discussion). And beyond even that, maybe once the unruled and abandoned come to their senses, they will decry and denounce the administrator(s) of these forums and demand a channel where they can peaceably discuss their views on the legality and politics of arms without the corruption of misinformation and overbearing pressure of majority-rules-opinion. And maybe they'll end up calling it something special... ...like Legal and Political.
