I like it the way it is. My main problem with TFF in general, as it has been for years now, is that there are too many subcategories for a site that really isn't pulling in the posts like it used to. If you make a political forum as a subset, you'll just have another two sections that don't really get a whole lot of attention.

It's the same thing as my gripe with word games. If gen chat is struggling like it does, combine them and only allow more intelligent games to be played.

As for Meier's modding, I have no problems with it. He's been rocking it out for years without any real issues. If it's really necessary to have a secondary mod there, I'd have to go Alpha, but I think it's on lockdown.
