[Poll] New forum for Religion + Philosophy

[blackllotus]

OT currently seems like the most appropriate forum for threads on religion/philosophy, however the flame-filled threads about Christianity or Evolution that keep popping up just seem out-of-place to me when looking at the other threads.

Thoughts?



Good luck with that.

Do you have a Forum Issue?

 

[FoBoT]

wrong forum, creating a new forum is a forum issues topic

 

[BigJ]

Like hell we need one. Where's the programming forum?

 

[Slick5150]

Considering this site if primarily for IT issues, having a forum for every single off-topic subject out there seems a bit silly. If you don't like getting flamed, don't post here.

It does get old. I can hardly come here without seeing "Christian", "Evolution", or "Religion" in the title of one of the topics. But I agree with Slick that we can't create a forum for every single issue.

On the left, the "Software - Apps, Programming and Games" forum.

I agree that seeing a lot of "religion" threads in Off Topic lately is annoying, but as others have said I don't think it warrants a separate forum. I'm not sure how "philosophy" fits in there, however (at least, philosophy in general or as a whole).

pretty much, as far as AT is concerned religion is off topic. Just because there are plenty of self righteous asses who have an opinion (from every spectrum) they want to express on it lately doesn't mean it gets it's own forum.

- Most people are moderate and respectable enough..... and keep away from the anti religious bashing, anti-anti-religions bashing....

if they wont make a separate programming forum why would they do this?

Seriously. WTF is up with all of these threads in OT? Isn't that what P&N is for?

Just like this guy wants a separate forum for religion so he doesn't have to see it, we want a separate forum for programming so we don't have to wade through the flame-baiting and trolling over in Software. Except our request is quite a bit older than his.

What we need is an unmoderated NSFW forum. And yeah, one for steak.

i support the STEAK only forum

 

[NanoStuff]

Not that I care whether the religious get to have their own forum, but if it keeps their crap away from off topic, I'm all for it.

 

[Brainonska511]

No, that's what OT is for.

 

[mrSHEiK124]

Doesn't that just belong in P/N?

 

[SSSnail]

While we're on topic, can we get a forum for attention whoring too?

 

[Praxis1452]

programming has wanted it's own forum for like what 3 years now? this is not going to get done.

 

[George P Burdell]

BAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[yllus]

No. OT was created for that purpose, not just reposts of "weird news" and celebrity gossip.

 

[mchammer]

SEND THE CRAP TO P&N. Am I the only one that remebers when there weren't 2-3 active religion threads every day?
