I think what champ means is that the members dictate the tone and maturity level of the boards, while we just enforce the rules.

Anyway, I disagree with Leeza and think that deleting the forum would not cause too much trouble. Political discussion would start popping up in GC but then it would get diluted by all the spammers people having 'fun'. I think it would solve two problems. Lighten up the politcal talk and get some serious discussion back in GC.
