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

Then, there were the conservatives Nekro, dartboard, SR71, and, you claim, you, under whatever screenname you had. Additionally, damookster frequently provided a rightward-moderate position.
These days, the only people who post conservatively are you, Isaac, and occasionally MightyYT. Tom occasionally posts things of a fiscally conservative nature, but he has always done that.
I largely stopped posting politically on this site as I grew older, for a combination of reasons. Primarily, it is because arguements on this site rarely evolve beyond disputing facts and sources. On the rare occasions that they do (typically the novel-length discussions between Isaac and Joel), they are generally discussions that either have been repeated countless times or ones that I don't think I have anything constructive to offer in.

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

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

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
