Never said it was the only reason. But it is part of why we have less people posting who use to frequent the board regularly. The game day threads is part of too, as Ghost mentioned. I'm just tired of all the politics. Personally, I don't care to hear an opinion from either side anymore. Some here get pretty snarky and it's gotten old. I'd rather just talk about Duke basketball, other sports, and occasionally films/music. I wish The New Lounge was more focused on outside interests than being a political echo chamber. I use to take part in it too. But again, it's just gotten old and I am burnt out on politics.
