There have been quite a few threads about various topics of world history on the GOF. With a number of avid historians on the GOF and also a number of people not so much interested in history for whom the threads might become distracting the admins decided to create a new subsection for the GOF history threads. While there are many threads easy to identify as strictly history threads (anything refering directly to historical events without direct relevance to current events) there are also threads which are a mixture of history and current events (e.g. various threads concerning US presidents, gun control etc.). The basic rule of thumb estimate is that threads with a very current topic are better posted in the After Midnight section while this section is to be for all the threads on historical events, people, speculation etc. which are not as prominent in current discourse.
I'm looking forward to our discussion here :yes
