Not really what the people who posted in the Arms would be after, I don’t want to spend my day arguing about politics 

Just had a look for first time and the general discussion board has some lighter threads you would have to be selective. There also is a section called chatter.

DS General Discussion has similar threads to the Arms just a bit less fluffy, the more political discussions are in the Politics area.

Thanks for that Nickster.  I wonder how long it will be before your link is deleted?

I only posted on lighthearted threads in the Arms and will miss it. During these unprecedented times of high anxiety it gave me comfort and something else to think about.

I totally agree.

We just need to take over a different board. Where's quietest?   If I remember rightly, the Families section has sub-boards for 'Mums' and 'Dads' that see very little action ...

edit. The Matched Betting board has not been used since March!
edit2. All Shopped Out sub-board barely used, one post in May.

Because it's been closed since then!

I will miss seeing the familiar names.

I will miss reading about peoples irritations, smiles and updates.

I will miss the amusing photos.

Above all i will miss the company of others.

That's another set of posters they have alienated them. I do think the powers that be want this to fold.

A lot of people are not visiting friends and family until it's safe.  Imagine the Arms was a life line for a lot of them, especially those living alone.  Seems a bit unkind to pull it now.
