Science/Technology sub-forum!

[Narz]

Would be cool.

Dunno how much interest there is though.

 

[GenMarshall]

No, we already have the Computers Forum for computer related stuff.

No need to split up OT.

There is more to technology than just computers.

No need to split up OT.

What's OT got to do w/ it?

 

[Knight-Dragon]

I am all for it.

Any science thread will just get buried in the OT.

 

[sirdanilot]

Sounds like a nice idea.

 

[Julian Delphiki]

Would work, i was thinking of making a thread about smartphones few days ago and neither OT or Computer Talk felt really right. CT would have been more logical one i guess.

 

[LucyDuke]

I'd like it.

 

[Strider]

Awesome. I'd love to see this happen.

 

[ohcrapitsnico]

I can see use for this.

 

[carmen510]

Yes. We can separate those gems from the spam in the OT, so it may be much easier to close. Now all we need is a separate politics and religion sub-forum.

 

[Catharsis]

I doubt this'd get much traffic. What happened to the proposals for a TV/Movies/Music subforum?

 

[sirdanilot]

While we're at it, let's just split up OT entirely. One OT forum simply doesn't work.

TV/Music
Science/Technology
Politics
Religion

That'd be a good start. Keep the OT forum there for all miscelaneus topics, of course.

 

[Ball Lightning]

I'm fine with a science forum...

 

[Verge]

I'd love to see a Science and Technology forum; whenever I visit OT, I always wonder if someone created an interesting thread pertaining to one of the above subjects, a thread that I might have missed because it got buried shortly after it was created.

That said, an Entertainment Forum for TV, movies, books, etc would also be very nice, but it sounds like this has been suggested many times before, and nothing came out of it.

 

[Narz]

I doubt this'd get much traffic.

It would get enough. Probably far more than the Civ I & II forums (sadly, those were the best ones!). Quality over quantity anyway!

 

[azzaman333]

Sci-Tech Forum sounds like a useful addition to the site

 

[Aramazd]

I think Computer Talk should become the Science/Tech Forum. Computers easily fall under Tech and it would be just as simple as renaming the forum (I imagine TF could do that, but I don't know).

That could work too, I guess.

 

[Narz]

I think they should be seperate. Honestly, I'd bet the sci/tech forum would get more action than Computer Talk.

The feel and tone for the present CompTalk is different. It's more for people discussing very specific PC hardware and software issues, as well as a general IT help forum. It's fine as it is.
