Creating a subforum of Paranormal.

[Figure-8]

I can't remember who, but someone brought this up recently, and I wanted to see what people thought of it.

There's a lot of information in Paranormal that fits into a group of teachings that represent the path of conscious evolution etc, and does not so much focus on "paranormal" activity, whatever that may be.

It's almost like a cross between religion and the inhumane condition. (oh the humanity!).

What do you think, should there be an sub-forum for a wider degree of topics and better organization?

Bump.

I think the Paranormal forum could use a sub forum, yes.

[Figure-8]

I was in the middle, but with the recent strife, yes I agree, it would help a little.

Now Paranormal and Conspiracy both lack above mentioned shit in their descriptions leading users to not post any aforementioned awesome shit. Paranormal is mainly ate and greyfox talking about new-age shit, and others talking about shit that could fit in R&S or Conspiracy. I'm a part of the new-age shit myself, but I also wish something like SotD was around. I propose the description be changed and maybe a new-age/spiritual healing/astrology/shamanism forum or subforum be created. ate thinks the subforum idea is pretty good. I told this all to zok on irc and he said its something that should probably be done but he doesnt have any personal point of reference so to post it here for review.

auburn for extra mod!

I voted no as the OP provided little information as to what those subforums would be, what they'd be called, etc. I think it's pretty clear what goes in the paranormal forum.

if anything, swap it the other way around, make paranormal a subforum of religion, and broaden religions scope.

also reposted from my response in the m&a section because its too long to retype:

As a chaosatanic zennarchist of the raptor jesus sect, i already feel violated by this idea.
i feel it will lead to large scale horse raping, small scale intellectual sodomy, and further cloistering of the body mimetic.
On behalf of the the Justified Ancients of Muu, i must protest in the strongest terms this stripping apart of our unity, the Darwinian smorgasbord that is the cut and thrust of advanced ideological debate. It will only weaken the breed, allowing foreign memes to sweep in and surprise buttsex the unprepared paradigms as they sleep snug in their carefully color coded Sub Forums of Solitude.

however, on behalf of our chronozonian overlords (the famed Fanged Uber Chicken Kabal), i feel that the idea has much merit, in fact should be taken to its furthest logical extreme. Each sentient being is a universe self contained and inviolate, there for each member should, nay Must have his/her/its own subforum. in which to stew in its own fevered imagining, gloat over its Awe inspiring collection of tentacle porn (hail the FSM, all Hail!)
and run clammy fingers through its filthy puss filled psyche, to thereby achieve its own version of digital godhood.

Since the Buddha advises us that those burened with ignorance or evil should receive an extra measure of compassion, most likely he would just be a yellow-flagged motherfucker.

Holy lol.

Literally, I was going to respond but I realize they're just mentally masturbating and then I seen this. Yes, I don't intend to ban or give anyone infractions, just promote positive exchange of ideas.

It works that way.

Actually it was quite 'enlightened' the timing, word usage, etc.

Oh you mean "enlightened", well what do you know about that?

Oh, you bother Greyfox all the time. That's cool.

[Figure-8]

I agree.

Personally I think this is a terrible idea. All it will do is create more confusion. Creating "pet" forums for every idea or person is just silly. Pretty soon every member will have their own forum.

A better idea would be to fuse the paranormal forum with the religious forum. They're so narrowly connected that I don't see why paranormal just can't be a subforum of religion and spirituality.

Instead of trying to make more specific smaller forums, we should aim at larger forums. That way we can work to improve the interaction between the members. Instead of isolating each other from the people we don't like in smaller forums, I think that good relationships can be created by all working together in larger forums.

I don't see why someone gets to have a subforum for himself so he can go hide in it from the rest of the website. We're all friends here. If it were up to me, we wouldn't have more than 7 forum categories.

Just renewing my request to create a forum for analytic philosophy somewhere in here. The recent "what is consciousness" type threads would have been perfect in there.

Aye, but then they'd miss their intended targ---err, audience.

Can't you just will one into existence?

This is the process of that. Snoopy you wouldn't have to hide, if you accepted yourself.

Sadly, I'm no mexican, I think they're very noble (the sombreros) and you are definitely an interesting individual.
