I am aware I have the most posts, by a fair margin, despite posting less than ever. I am also aware, as you surely are also, that would NOT be the highest total for virtually any two years in wotmanias history. I joined wotmania in summer of '04, lurked for six months and hit the 10k mark in mid-2007. Then I started working 12 hours a day and chasing a girl at another site, but still hit 20k a couple weeks before wotmania closed (though it required conscious effort.) Continuing at my current prolific rate would inaugurate RAFOs 10k club in about a year; Camilla, who has the second most posts, would join me about a year after THAT. That seems far more significant than my (nearly) 7000 posts (though I am pleased my 37+ views/post ratio is almost twice what it was on my best day at wotmania.)
I post less than ever. Until 2007 I was heavily active on three or more sites at any given time; now my activity is almost exclusively here. It looks like I post a lot here because so few others join me; when I posted more often at wotmania I never accounted for even 2% of the CMB, let alone 3% of the whole SITE (as is the case at RAFO.) While it is very flattering to suggest I almost singlehandedly altered RAFOs activity, we all know that is not the case. I can (and should) post on other RAFO MBs, and less generally, but since half of RAFOs posts are on the CMB, an inactive CMB indicates a problem much bigger than me, and thus one I cannot solve.
I genuinely regret being the sites most active member, but remain unconvinced decreasing my activity will increase the sites.

Slightly better than chocolate.
Love still can't be coerced.

/Survey: If this place had a separate politics board like several other sites do, what would happen?

Political Board = Chat Drama x 9000 *NM*

I doubt that very much.

I remain unconvinced a few voices can drown out the rest in an internet environment.

the problem with the chat drama is spilled over into everything else

All the political crap would go there, like it does on those other sites.

Perhaps some might feel more comfortable posting if it were separate?

Probably the easiest solution is to have a filter instead, save the new board for a "Writers Board"

There are actually a number of simple and effective solutions if this really bugs people

There is a reason we are seeing so much complaining about politics form certain people

You're adorable. You're also pretty new to the site, as I recall.

Then you should know there are fewer conservatives on the site now.

That's arguably flawed reasoning, there's apparently considerably fewer posters overall now

To a certain extent. But the site's left lost LiterateDog and Chorabliss.

If people want to keep the place alive and interesting for themselves then they can do these things:

there would be so little traffic on the community board that you could shut it down
