We are essentially doing a "reset" to the political and religious forum in an attempt to clean things up and eliminate some of the problematic posting habits that created issues in the past, rather than eliminating P/R altogether and banning any political/religious discussion on the forums. We carried over a few topics that were still active and that did not cross the boundaries we are trying to enforce. But as part of this "fresh start," most of the older topics were purged. However, because many of those old topics are still valuable for reference, they have been moved to the forum archive section of the board.
