What the heck is CircvsMaximvs?

CM is where Izzy goes to make friends.

Seriously, it is a sister-site of ENW that doesn't have Eric's Grandmother. We discuss politics, religion, sex, sports, gaming, random questions, and how much we should drink at Gen Con.

There is quite a bit of civil discussion, and there is likewise a fair amount of aggressive posting. Frequently, ENWorlders are invited over there to discuss threads posted here without the moderation - most of them stay once there.

I like it because the "no religion" rule is suppressed. And there are a great many good conversations there on other topics as well.

Hay, I saw Eric's Granny there. She was sitting at the pub downing a hot toddy! Honest!

She wears earplugs while visiting, though. That way she doesn't get offended.

I saw Eric's Grandma making out with the saxaphone player...and he was clearly not Eric's Grandpa! But don't tell anyone else! This is just between you, me, and the rest of ENWorld, OK?

So like EN World without all the civil discussion? Interesting.

It's more like a place where if someone is being a passive aggressive , you can call them out for it without risking the wrath of the mods.

I think this belongs in Meta.

What happened with CircvsMaximvs with the mandatory registration, anyway?

When I first discovered the site around a year ago or so, I never registered or posted there but I still enjoyed reading the forums for the politics and opinion content which isn't allowed here. Sometime around last summer, though, they changed things so that the forums weren't even available for reading unless you registered and logged in. That really annoyed me. For what reason was that done?

I hope that never happens here. I have been registered here at ENWorld for quite a while now, but I don't ever log in just to read - I only log in to actually make a post (like I'm doing right now). The same thing applies to two other boards I'm on. The quickest way for ENWorld to lose me as a reader would be to make me log in just to read the message boards.

It doesn't require mandatory registration. There may have been a brief period where the system was requiring it, but I'm looking at it right now without being logged in.
