Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
Hi gang, Hosawaka Tito and I have been talking off and on about closing the Science sub-forum, reasons being:
- Siphons interesting posts away from the Frontroom
- Not much traffic
- People ain't reading it
- Too much fragmentation makes people forget about the Hunk Thread
What do you think?

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

I feel stalked...

I guess great Texas minds think alike then?
Did we really just make the exact same post post at the exact same time? Have we truly become one?
Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
I agree with the increasingly merged consciousness of Strike for the Fat VI.
It should be merged; it's little used, less read, and splinters threads, leaving them to wither.

Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
I reckon "the seriousness the science topics offer/Science sub-forum hits" ratio does not meet the requirements for Science to have its own sub-forum, at least yet.
Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
Merge.
Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
I propose replacing it with a God forum, which will be symbolic of the rise of fundamentalism and the triumph of faith over reason.
Or maybe just merge the science thread.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
Good idea. We can discuss all sorts of theology and Christian-influenced science.
Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
Excellent! Two votes already!
To reflect the scientific tradition inherited by the new God forum, I propose we name it the Ken Ham forum, combining the twin elements of matters of faith, and scientifically proven young earth creationism.

Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
I say merge them. Between the Frontroom and Backroom there's plenty of space for discussion of science, serious or otherwise.

It was an interesting proposition by Caius at the time, but interest has waned.

Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
Merge. The science forum always seems dead. On the topic of other frontroom branches, how about something along the lines of a beginners philosophy branch? Could cover some of the previous topics mentioned in this thread.

Merge. Give the poor thing a reprieve from its neglected existence.

Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
Don't do this, you'll just have people ignoring it for the Backroom (sorry Nerd), in the same principle, merge.

Philosophy not politics. On every topic but the rigidity of modern living. A blessing of mental illness for those unfortunate enough not to notice it!you'll just have people ignoring it for the Backroom
Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
As the dominate poster in the Science Section, it could probably be expanded to cover more areas. Or just merge with back/front rooms.

Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
tbh, I think one of the reasons for the continued success of the .org is the fact that the Tavern has such a close-knit arrangement.
I don't think those forums that make different categories for everything ever fare well. Here, you discuss anything in the Frontroom, except for the more controversial Backroom stuff. IMO this arrangment is perfect, the Frontroom/Backroom divide is definitely needed, but otherwise, the fact that everyone discussing all sorts of topics can meet together in the one sub-forum is what makes this place such a strong online community.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
Agreed.
In my opinion the most interesting science threads are those in which the topic meanders and explores multiple aspects of the specific research in question, not to mention those in which there are contributions from members who are not naturally predisposed to see all scientific progress as a good thing; both of which I feel posting a topic in the science forum tends to discourage.
Re: Science Sub-forum: Separate But Equal?
I say merge it. I almost never remember to even check it, despite my often finding science topics to be quite interesting.
