Also, consider the suggestion neo made about vulgarity in thread titles. I would think there are people who come here interested in serious discussion, then see Republicunt or Christard or Fucking Theists in thread titles and leave without posting. I believe (I didn't read the whole thread) his suggestion was roundly shot down.This indicates that there are more people here who are interested in insulting theists than in having thoughtful discussion with them. And that's fine...but don't expect a lot of serious debate in such an atmosphere.
One possible solution would be a single forum with its own set of rules, such as:
- no insults or swearing
- no clearly off-topic posts
- no repeats of what others have already said (i.e. shouting down)
You might get a few more theists to hang around with a section like that.
