I can’t remember if I mentioned this to anyone other than @Tago-Mago, but my work trip to Munich (and a potential mini IH meet-up on the side) in early September is off. I’m sure there will be other opportunities and, on a positive note, I won’t have to work over the August BH weekend.

Earlier this year @Anesthetist had made a really great post about his 15 years on The Forum,and I was going to quote it because I thought it was perfect. Anyway,today is my 15 Year Forum Anniversary,lots of great memories,and I still have my very first pair of IH-634. I still say it’s the best place in cyberspace.

The member guidelines have been updated to include this:
Ideology and politics are inextricably linked to one another, and while talk of politics is forbidden on the forum, we have allowed talk of ideology. For most of us there are fine lines between the two. but the line often shifts depending upon which side of the line you personally believe. That fervent belief that your side is right and the other side isn’t, is what gets ugly and people need reminders not to cross. Dogma has no place here.
Some topics are easy to manage where the topic is so divisive that they are shut down immediately, while others aren’t as easy to say when is enough.
As mods, we make decisions fairly regularly about what to delete, what to permit, and when to discipline. It’s not easy and we often will discuss amongst ourselves what the right course of action should be.
We pride ourselves in the fact that The Iron Heart Forum is a safe, pleasant, and on the whole non confrontational corner of the web. We have many members whose only form of "social media", is here, precisely because of that.
If you want to have strong views about something/anything that may be controversial, there are plently of other places to do that.
In the future, people who consistently post antagonistic statements to evoke responses (trolling behaviour) along those ideological lines, will be warned by pm to please be mindful of their language. Repeated actions after those warning may result in a ban from the forum.
