    Is this forum falling apart?

    Since the "Your Future..." poll is currently closed, I thought I would create this thread for those of you still wishing to express your opinons on whether or not this forum is falling apart. Or you could vent your frustrations in The Therapy Thread.

    The Therapy Thread

    Need to vent? Dump it out here for all to discuss. I'll start... I hate when family and / or friends bring up one of the three no-nos in conversation (religion, money, politics) and insist on pushing buttons. Sex used to be a fourth no-no, but has since been removed from my list.
