A king among peasants.

I thought you only started here around the 2008 election, but your user account says 2006. I guess you're like evolution, you had your Netrunnerian Explosion in 2007/2008. Seriously, if everyone else pulled out of the election08 and politics you'd still have filled it to be one of the more packed channels on the sift.

I salute you.

What I would much rather see, is to keep the 7(or is it 8 now?) channel max and clean up the channels we have. Some channels are clearly a subset of others, and for these it would be obvious that the sift should be in both - for instance

music { livemusic, rocknroll, metal, jazz, hiphop }
1sttube { latenight }
religion { cult, islam }
comedy { woohoo }
politics { law, election08 }

wtf { asia } ( )

and we have themes

countries/geography { asia, british, canada, downunder }
time {vintage, 80s, timeshift, election08, history, future }

I think I saw joedirt do a pretty good overview of these in a post earlier.

My point is that I really don't think that just allowing more channels is a good solution, because it increases the complexity for the viewer in the end. A reduction or organization of the existing channels would be better, and could also make it better for future channels.
