off OU topic distractions

[tak22]

  I find the 911, aliens, and other not OU topics distracting, and they rapidly push
the OU topics off/down the front page and forum lists. While interesting and informative
at times, they really defeat the purpose of getting and keeping as many people as
possible engaged with working on OU solutions. We will lose good people.

The new section for "We can't live without the truth" is just encouraging more of the
same problem.

I have no solution, just recognizing an issue.

Yes tak, I agree, OU related stuff should get higher priority.

There are a few solutions I have thought of, this is my favourite so far:

Have two recent posts lists on the homepage, the top list contains threads directly related to free energy research, the lower list contains all other threads.

This would probably require modification of the forum software, but that is doable because Stefan uses SMF forum software which is open source.

I like the two lists idea, or maybe in our PROFILE we could select forums to view, which might even
reduce bandwith as sometimes there would be less to display.

And the more we talk about this, the more it merges into the same problem ......

LOL, don't worry about this thread knocking free energy threads off the top spot, a lot of OU members would I'm sure be thankful if ideas like this get implemented.

Not that I've got anything against political views and discussions, I just think this forum should give priority to free energy related stuff.

It's a new MIB tactic. They don't have to know anything about science or OU, they just need to be
able to type and distract. The forum list of 500 posts right now is 35% off topic, and if you add in
all the other useless posts it's probably only 50% OU. 

No wonder you don't see the 'regulars' around here much anymore.
