The Philosophy Forum will close on Monday the 15th due to ongoing moderation challenges, with most threads being moved to General Discussion. Many members have expressed that the forum has not been actively utilized, leading to frequent thread locks. While some users are disappointed by the closure, others believe it is a necessary change for the community. Discussions have shifted to humorous suggestions for a replacement forum, such as one dedicated to kittens or lolcats. Overall, the closure marks the end of an era for the forum, with mixed feelings among its members.

Shame. Perhaps it could reopen when you find a philosophical moderator or two. I have to agree though that the forum was awful as a free-for-all.

Superpositions like the EU, perhaps?

Well, I was thinking of the requirement to maintain a superposition of conflicting opinions; and that the observer (audience) influences the opinion. However, I like your example as well.:wink:

From now on, should we discuss the consciousness of QM cats in the QM forum or in the General discussion forum? :rolleyes:

My farewell to the philosophy forum... I liked it but I understand the problems it had. Still, were some good posters and posts there.
