The War Room

The War Room started life in 2003 as the "War In Iraq" Sub-forum of Non Sci-Fi Debates (like many event-specific subforums). In 2005, having outlived the 'interesting' (i.e., easily winnable) combat phase in Iraq, it was transitioned to an independent forum dealing with modern-day military issues and debates. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars remained popular fodder for discussion, but general modern and historical military versus debates were added, as well as military picture threads and the like. In 2010 or 2011, the Fort SB subforum was added as a semi-private forum for military members.
The War Room is subject to all standard SB rules, but as early as 2006 it was realized that since a lot of the 'interesting' (i.e., highly debated) countries had nuclear weapons and would probably use them against other countries. As a result, a general rule unique to The War Room was established that bans the use of nuclear weapons (and later CBRN weapons) unless otherwise specified.
Additionally, because of the often controversial and emotional content of threads dealing with modern-day conflict, the moderating staff strictly enforce a rule against the promotion or advocacy of genocide in any form.
Before the XenForo conversion, and moderators being allowed to moderate any forum, CommanderRazor and IxJac were the primary mods for this forum.
