I just went back and read some of the more popular threads on racing from 3-4 years ago.

Most of the same posters that engaged in those threads are still active, posting members here. They just don't post as much anymore, myself included.

For me, I just don't have the time. I suspect that is the case with others as well.

I agree with this. The lack of a politics room doesn't effect the paddock. IMO the political discourse was always more mean sprited than any of the racing discussion. Like Bob said, people are less confident with their racing opinions and more reluctant to offer them on the Internet.

What people are failing to acknowledge is that the people responsible for this site may not want to be associated with the opinions and nastiness that was taking place. Why can't we respect that?
