The Ideas Room

TIR is actively seeking new members! We discuss, argue, and debate current events and topics.

Our forums are extremely diverse, with over 8,300 postings of them to choose from. Find a topic you'd like to join in on, or start one yourself.

And yes, there are chess games here. We have played daily matches, tournaments, and vote chess. 

We do ask that you be courteous, respectful, and tolerant of others. If there is a problem, please bring it to the attention of an administrator. We will look into it.

It will be our privilege and pleasure to extend an invitation to you to join our prestigious club. We look forward to an early acceptance of your membership.

So go ahead, tap the “JOIN” button. We’ll be talking to you soon.
