Petition for a new forum.

Happy Boy · 12-28-2006, 12:57 AM

In this thread I am putting forth a petition for a new forum.

The idea myself and some other regular contributors have had is for a forum for those topics which have been extremely common in the war room for the past past put have instantly been wastelanded for the past few months. Of course, Im speaking of threads to do with the conflict of ****physics and spirituality with those of the natural sciences and certain strands of philosophy ie. modernism, or put more simply, science vs. religion although I personally dont like that phrase.

The reason for this is obviously so that seperate threads dont get merged/wastelanded anymore, but also that we could hopefully have a highly modded forum where good threads dont get dragged down to rubbish with personal insults and childish exchanges of nothing. Ive been involved in several discussions recently which Ive given up on due to the presence of what I can only deem to be kids up past their bed times trolling the thread to death, so a specialised forum would hopefully negate this problem.

Anyone in suport please add your voice to this and hopefully some of the mods will contact me or just post for a dialogue.

Brat is gone, the anti religion threads have slowed down and will continue to slow down.

What did Brat get the axe for? I knew he was banned, then unbanned.. but what happened to get him banned again?

It's been discussed before and concluded that a Theology subforum on a Mixed Martial Arts site is ridiculous and if those threads cause more issues users will be dealt with induvidually and threads, post etc moved deleted. It seems though that eventually these topics die down and hence a new forum is not required.

Could the same logic be used for the War Room and yet it is alive and well?

Well not really since there's fresh topics popping up every now and then, the War Room is probably as far as this site will go in regards to OT subforums. This theology stuff is just rehashed crap over and over again, eventually it dies down, a separate forum isn't really needed.

It seems the longer Im on these boards the more new and diverse threads come up which could have a place in a new forum.

Bit disappointed some of the better posters from Mayberry were silent in this thread and didnt add any support.

Proposed many times. Shot down many times. The admin are not interested in creating a separate forum to accommodate a handful of zealots who debate the same topic over and over again. Go figure.
