What happened to the politics section here? Not that I was a big fan, I posted only once, but who takes this kind of decisions and based on what? I notice that there are sections with no posts for months, and some of them I am happy that they are still around and hope they will revive, while others I don't care for.

But that's not the point, probably somebody else does. But once you have a section which attracts involvement why stop it? Is there an elite which decides what flies and what does not? I think that these are the kind of decisions you consider carefully and publish before you start a site.

You might have a beloved leader or a council taking the decisions, or you publish a manifesto, or you need wide consensus.
