It's that time of year again. It's been a while since our last changes to the forum structure, and so it's worth taking ideas for some more diversified forums. Pollux V suggested a Media, Power & Politics forum. kmguru suggested an Economy & Business forum. Free Thoughts might also be split up into two forums, one for general chat of a social nature, and one for serious intellectual discussion (matching the tone of the rest of the site) of topics that don't fit in other forums. Are there any other suggestions?
Yeah, don't split the Free Thoughts Forum up. It's easier just leaving it that way, in my opinion. As for a new forum.......I would say athletics, but that might down play the intellect of this site.........maybe one devoted to Ancient Studies or Prehistoric?
Don't split up free thoughts Its cool how it is and we can work out what we want to read But deffinetly economics forum
Yeah leave the Free THoughts intact. If I was selfish I'd have suggested HUMAN CIVILIZATION AND HISTORY forumPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! (Prehistoric includedPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!) and I do not support economics. I have enough of it in daily commercialsPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!(don't watch commercial channels any more), but to be serious I htink tht it would distance us from the main theme->SCIENCE. We should improve sciforums not spoil thm.
I second the Media Politics Power forum. Actually if you created I was wondering if I could moderate. I don't know if Free thoughts need to be split, kinda interesting to see oddball and serious dissucssions co-existing. Thanx, ~Cactus.
So Porfiry, could you tell us what's going on with the Media Politics and Power Forum? I'm not pressuring you or anything I'd just like to hear your opinion on making one or not. Cactus and 'Oeddie' along with me seem to want to be the moderator(s), is it possible to have three? We're all knowledgable in the field, even if oeddie didnt take the class....Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I also think that a history forum would be awsome. Talk to us!!
I think there should be a Narcissist's Forum, for those people that truly believe that they are some sort of icon. I've spotted posts once in a while from people that seem to have no topic but to express how "Cool they are". [okay you don't have to take that as a request but more of a definition of some of the antics that people get upto in posting] Porfiry, heres one that girl of your dreams could appreciated how about Love & Romance? That way everybody can hide behind their Mask of an avatar, and suggest what they would look for out there in the real world. (although I'm sure psychologists would be looking for sociopathic tendencies as people morph to the roles of those that they admire.)
I've spotted posts once in a while from people that seem to have no topic but to express how "Cool they are". I seem to have established a cult following. (sighs) Finally...
Actually, it was how Great I am. Not cool. Though I, obviously, am that too. If you're in need of a moderator I'd do it.
I believe I said something to the effect of 'I'm so cool my friends have to wear a light jacket when they hang out around me, even if it's summertime and we're at the beach.' So HA!! Bow down before me!
If your friends met me their heads would explode, as their mortal brains would be incapable of comprehending just how great I am.
When my friends hang around me I offer them government quality contamination suits because I'm so RAD!!!
How about a forum dedicated to space missions, space craft, space tourism, which would include airborne crafts like jets, X-prize associated crafts, NASA, JPL, etc...
Nanotech Open a Nanotechnology Forum. The subject spans many areas of science and should IMO have a dedicated Forum.
Do you mean an...aeronautics forum? No. That would only include vehicles able to cruise within the atmosphere. It should encompass everything from jets to space shuttles to space stations to Dyson spheres. Basically, anything that is not "nailed down" can be contained within this forum. I'm not sure if it should include Sci-Fi type vehicles like the Millennium Falcon, for example.
Doesnt really matter to me if you split up the free ideas forum. Love and Romance - Dont think its a very good idea, but it seems to me that there is alot of people who talk about the 2 in here. How about a Health/Fitness section? Health is a really good and useful subject, Im sure people would use it. (I know I would) - plus it might promote more a healthier living for people who sit on the internet all day! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Also, If your trying to save space, you should purge any members who have to been inactive in say a year or so, maybe six months. Thanks for letting me express my opinions and views Porfiry!

Thats funny *stRgrL*, I came here to mention a Health & Welfare forum idea. Seems similar to your own idea. Okay so the main reason why I've just thought of it, is because I now realise that I probably have TB and could well be quarantined away from everyone for months. It realy sucks, as I realise where I caught TB from.... The last time I got stuck in a hospital.:bugeye: I'm really becoming a Hospitalphobia sufferer. Anyway, I just hope they let me move my stuff from the flat before they quarantine me.
