this is some sort of plot to destroy SAVE the cave
FIFY - This is actually a last ditch effort to save the cave by fixing it showing to people that don't want it.

I actually opened up a few of the threads while they popped up and they weren't too bad for how folks were interacting; similar to comments I see on Twitter or whatever, probably way better really.

A website that generally trends younger and college educated tilts left when educational attainment and age have been key dividers in polling for many years now? Shocking.

Also, if you actually look into the "liberals" in the cave, probably half are former republicans. The cave was known as the 'conservacave' for years.

I’d also add that CF has grown a lot and added more content with a more active social media presence. With that you’re going to attract more Millennial and GenZ users, who tend to be more liberal than their boomer and GenX counterparts.

That’s all I’ll say outside the cave.

Those former republicans just wanted to follow D*ck Cheney.

Don't worry, there's a whole twitter group chat filled with people like him complaining about it and bringing up posters political views, then when called on it, do the exact thing they do here: "don't bring up politics"

You missed the Taylor Swift crap this morning... good times.

Lol, people under 35 aren’t here. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Please give instructions because the ones posted aren't working. TIA
I didn’t read the instructions :p

I clicked on Preferences and scrolled down to something. Maybe it said forums or something, can’t remember. I put myself in Gaming and Hobbies even though I don’t know what it is, but I have hobbies like napping and watching birds, so why not? I put myself out of cave and back in in-state rivals even though it had reversed that. I wish there was an option to block all posts that mention she who shall not be named, but alas there is not.

We need to make the Beer forum opt-in too, kids can get on this site!

I'd like to have the pro sports forums opt-in because 2/3 of the year I don't really care about pro sports

I suppose I'll have to continue living with simply not clicking on those threads as I've done for nearly 20 years now.

Wait, there is a hobbies section and you have to opt into it, but then have to opt out of the cave and ISR. That’s assbackwards .

Please note that we're trying to get the custom fields that drive the promotions cleared out so nobody will see those forums unless/until they opt-in going forward (right now it's basically flipped).

Depending on timing, that may create some scenarios where those you have that have already gone in a re-set your settings need to do so again, and wait up to 2 hours for the change to be reflected.

Apologies but trying to fix the 95% that are incorrect even if it means a bit of duplicated efforts for the remainder.

Yeah I had no idea why that was there. It was Gaming and Hobbies, maybe NCAA Football game and bird watching ruffles folks’ feathers?
