Do we need a separate "Occupy" forum???
The Occupation movement has gone global.

There is an obvious sharp split here between those who support the Occupations, and those who support traditional politics.

It is incredibly difficult to try and keep tabs on roughly 300 global Occupations.

For all those reasons, I urge the Admins to open a separate "Occupy" forum.

5. #Occupy threads in GD make everyone see them. Perhaps also eventually
these threads will open hearts and minds.

13. Disagree. I think it would be a way to keep Occupations "front and center", without...
being continually pissed-on by those who are still attached to traditional politics.

14. When was the last time you went to the I/P forum
How about the gungeon?

Traditional politics,,, GD/ P

Don't do that, don't kick it where it will be ignored. I guarantee it.

15. Good idea!
Put it in "Ask the Administrators".

There could still be Occupy threads in GD, of course, but this would be a good way for Occupiers around the country (and world!) to connect with one another.
