    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Good idea. We can discuss all sorts of theology and Christian-influenced science.

    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.

    Seriously, stop it. You're scaring me.

    Yea, SFTS thoughts are usually pretty good I don't mind either
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    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.

    The people have spoken. And, um, the people! United! Can never be ignited! No, wait, how does it go ...?

    Anyway, Tosa has notified us that he will be merging the Science sub-forum with the Frontroom:

    So coolio. Thanks to everyone who voted and discussed. In a very real sense, this forum belongs to the members, so having your help with this sort of decision is much appreciated.

    Does this democratic revolution heralded by the mods signal an end to Tosa's benevolent despotism? Will it result in a mod-led oligarchy? Or will the ordinary orgah have a meaningful say in things? Or must we scrap all admin/mod powers and all forms of user titles?

    Hello,

    All threads from the Science forum have the prefix Sci and it's thus possible to easily locate all Science threads in this forum by using the sorting tool. I'ld recommend to prefix new threads as such too.

    The Science forum is closed for new threads and the redirects to here will stay for some time.

    It's possible to add some other prefixes to sort topics here.

    @Rhyfelwyr: Tosa is the best sort of despot, in that he does not have the time, energy or inclination to act like a despot.

    "Ordinary" orgahs should always have a meaningful say. The membership is the Org.
