Cloud Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 I'm with cabiterol and herpguy "Aerospace forum" It could be in physics but it also has computer science /mathematics / chemistry - you need a separate forum. Its the only way. I second military science . . . as 2nd.
theMaharajah Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 can we have a thread just called "lol" where every post must end in lol?
Phi for All Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 can we have a thread just called "lol" where every post must end in lol?Sure, set it up in General Discussion and lay out the rules. Sounds like fun, lol. This thread is for adding new fora to the site.
abskebabs Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 I think it would be good if there was a systems biology subsection in the biology forum as I'd like to find out more about this relatively new field.
Phi for All Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 I think it would be good if there was a systems biology subsection in the biology forum as I'd like to find out more about this relatively new field.Relatively new fields won't get their own forum until they become at least moderately popular fields. Start some threads about it and when we have a preponderance we will most surely start a sub-forum.
Genecks Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 I think it would be a good idea to break up the engineering section into a few subcategories: aeronautical, chemical, electrical, etc. I'd really like to see electrical as a sub-section, perhaps genetic engineering if people aren't too shakey about that. Some like playing around with bacteria and changing their genome; glow-in-the-dark bacteria are a new fad.
8600 Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 What about a sub-forum for Logic in the Mathematics section?
herpguy Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 I'm still all for Geneck's idea of a language board.
the tree Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 What about a sub-forum for Logic in the Mathematics section?That would be all kinds of awesome.
SmallIsPower Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 I agree with a Social Science forum, because there is so much philospohical nonsense going under the guise of "Social Science". People get PhDs based on philosophy, conjecture etc., and the field goes nowhere, yet could eventually be a very positive pursuit in the future. This site has enough hard core skeptics that we actually might be able to find the few diamonds in the rough.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 pyrotechnics We don't want to get into legal trouble.
chitrangda Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 We don't want to get into legal trouble. what type of legal troubls?
Phi for All Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 what type of legal troubls?Liability. We don't want anyone to get hurt by trying an experiment they read about here. There are some great experiments in the Chemistry section. Make sure to use all the precautions the members and Experts recommend. Trying each experiment the right way means you get to do more than one.
Sayonara Posted August 22, 2006 Author Posted August 22, 2006 Since we opened we have had a mere handful of geological topics discussed... the geology threads are fine in the General Sciences forum for now. Maybe if a load of geologists arrive we will make a forum for it, and we might even get to find out why it rocks.

gcol Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Why not a forum for "logical argument" or perhaps "illogical argument" in which to dump those endless religious threads that seem to revolve around things like whose responsibility is it to prove/disprove God, semantic wrigglings, and are often just a pulpit for certain people to preach from. Might solve the too many religious threads problem. A sort of no holds barred arena for the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable.
gcol Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 How about an Agony Aunt forum? This idea prompted by the ongoing "girlfriend in a threesome" topic. In it could (should) go such heartfelt pleas such as feeling temporarily suicidal, and I may be a total jerk, but why does nobody love me?. There have been many others, too. Not worth trawling the archives to be specific. You all know what I mean. Personally, I find them embarrassing, incredible, or uproariously funny by turns. Nice to go directly to them when I need a good laugh. I keep out of them, because I am usually tempted to say something like "never mind, kiddo, when you start to shave and are dry behind the ears, you will look back and turn pink with embarassment at having paraded your insecurities in public."
Klaynos Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Bad bad bad, just read some of deardenise.com 's forum...
gcol Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Bad bad bad, just read some of deardenise.com 's forum... Right, right, right. Sarcasm, sarcasm, sarcasm. (Must use more smilies to avoid misunderstanding.)
CPL.Luke Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 how bout an economics forum, we already discuss some of the economics stuff in politics, but it really deserves it own forum.
the tree Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 I'd only be in favour of an economics forum if it were kept as scientific as possible, which would involve keeping the money portion of economics to a minimum, because money just encourages politics.
