If you've been reading Politics lately...

    ...you'll have no doubt seen references to a want for a "Tin Foil Hat" forum...

    Now...in all seriousness...

    ...is there an argument to be made for a Conspiracies forum (although not as a sub-forum of Politics, I would suggset)?

    Should we just recommend such people to The Cuckoo's Nest?

    One one hand, I can just see it becoming the just-how-stoned-was-I-to-come-up-with-this-Conspiracy-Of-The-Week....which should just be sent to TCN anyway.

    On the other hand...I'm willing to bet that there's plenty of ppl who'd love to just mouth off about what they think is really happening behind today's news.

    If the mods do see fit to consider this, I'd also like to throw open the question of names. Would a self-deprecating name like "Tinfoil Hats" only attract trouble?

    Oh...if this has been discussed recently, sorry for dragging it up again.

    I'd certainly read it. Perhaps it could be called the 'Jews Are Controlling My Braincells' forum?

    Now, back to my schematics of that secret city I heard had been built under Tokyo...

    I'd read it too, nothing more fun than reading conspiracy sh*t and googling the "facts".

    It has come up before and I know just the man to moderate it too but he didn't show a huge amount of interest when it was being discussed here before.

    Yup. Egg-sactly.

    And then I want to convince/bribe/blackmail Ecksor so I'm mod of it.
    And then I will have compelte control, where any discussion which isn't suitable gets bumped up into Politics, and vice-versa.

    Naturally, I would only abuse these powers in the most blatant manner possible, in keeping with my dastardly seekrit plan.

    muhahahHAHAHAHAH.

    p.s. I would actually mod it...

    Aliens have obviously taken control of bonkey's account using advanced y-ray technology. Either that or he's only in it for the oil.

    It's "The Jew".
