What about the introduction of a SCIENCE category?

There is a Forum called, Business, Science & Technology. I realize that it is a catch-all, but science threads can be introduced there. Remember, nothing is set in stone. If, in a few months, if Support determines that there is a lot of response in the science areas, there possibly could be a discrete category.

Why don't you post a few threads there, and "test the waters" to see if there is any interest?

These sorts of questions can be placed in "Forum Help". In fact, I will move it there, while keeping it here, also.

I think it's a great idea. But I've got a vested interest.

For what it's worth, the neil on the membership looks and sounds like ccpoodle from abuzz. Maybe when you set up such threads, you could PM a few like minded individuals.

What about ye Phoenix. You're up early this morning!

Thanks, I was aware of the NEWS category called Business, Science and Technology, but I understood that to be a reference to fresh media information relating to those subjects, such as press, magazine, radio or TV bulletins etc...with headlines and press releases etc.

I was interested in a new category for SCIENCE where established information or research could be discussed, such as certain scientific laws, theories etc, as opposed to news items which are normally associated with announcements for new projects or discoveries or academy appointments etc.

By the way, you may recall that this was a request that I asked of Randy Brandenberg back in the days of Abuzz - there IS an established SCIENCE category there where guys like "satt fs" "pcinvannuys" "ccpodle1" and "rosborne979" had regular discussions on various Science subjects.

Bib- There is more than one way to "skin a cat". Why don't you just post, and see what develops!

I, for one, couldn't agree more, and like Bib, had made the same suggestion to Abuzz. I don't feel that it is necessary to have a separate forum topic just to post URLs. whether they be current events or otherwise. Marketing is already subsumed under Business, and technology is a broad area, theoretically applying to many different content areas.

What could easily be done, I think, is to take the two preexisting forums, and just change the headings. One could be Business, and the other, Science and Technology. If someone wanted to just pop in and drop a URL without developing it into a discussion, so be it.

Well, unfortunately there won't be any forum name changes any time soon. So, the best thing to do is post science topics in Business, Science & Technology and they will be fished out if/when a Science forum is created.

Hi Bib!! Good to see you here!!

I loved reading your profile.... thanks for the smile....

I'm looking forward to your science category discussions. I've always been interested in renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar.

Jespah: Thanks for the frank update

You said, "unfortunately there won't be any forum name changes any time soon." Can you please explain to your old Irish pal why this is so?

I'm guessing that CDK or the host company you are with only permits GUI changes every quarter or so...if it is a technical reason then I fully understand...if it's a financial reason then I'll have to speak to a few leprahauns I know who just might have a few spare pots of gold lying around. :wink:

Peace and Love:
I'm glad you liked my profile; it took years of serious body-building with Mr Schwarzenegger!

As for my member profile, it's an old one that I had written back in the days of Abuzz.

Nice to hear from you. See ya around.

The site is really new, Bibliophile, and although I agree about Science and Technlogy being a seperate category, let's get some science topics going so the adminstrators will have a motivation to create a seperate heading. It may take a few months as the primary programmer is not available on a daily basis to change anything. We'll have to be patient and in the meantime, flex those muscles!

Bib, check your PMs.

Thanks Jespah.

I'll start making SCIENCE topics in the Business, Science and Technology Forum until further notice.
