Polemic: A controversial argument, especially one refuting or attacking a specific opinion or doctrine. Of or relating to a controversy, argument, or refutation.
The Temple of Polemic is not nessicarily a place of contention or argument, but it is a place of discussion and discovery. Here, people can freely argue points that would be considered 'taboo' or in poor taste on the OMB. You will not be looked down upon or shunned because of a different belief. You may be ignored by some, but not by all;)
Now, I know some of you may be thinking, "Wasn't the Temple hoasted on Ezboard?" The answer to that questions is, Ezboard was becoming too much of a nusicance with the insane pop-up ads and even changing words in posts to become links to advertisments! Really, they were too insane and I had enough with their craziness. I personally like this board format better; it's easier to navigate, easier to modify from an adminsistrative standpoint, and doesn't have the annoying pop-up ads! Yes, I know about the "Google ad width undefined" thing that comes up sometimes. I'm currently working on getting rid of that. At least that doesn't install any spyware or viruses on your computer or talk to you like the Cheezboard ads did.
Registration is not required, but is nice as there will be some things you won't be able to see if you're not registered.
I will not delete the old temple or anything there; instead, I will be posting once in each forum to tell anyone that happens by the old Temple to come here. Some of the older, interesting topics will be moved here. Feel free to discuss anything you want to! Bumping up old topics is not looked down upon. You never know, you just may get that thread going again.
So, welcome to the Temple of Polemic! I hope you enjoy your stay and come around for many great discussions.
Run Fast, Seek Peace
