AI Thread Summary
When unsure about where to post a question related to science, users are advised to either message a mentor for guidance or make an educated guess about the most relevant forum. If a post is misplaced, mentors can relocate it. The discussion highlights the importance of checking the appropriate forum before posting, with general discussion serving as a catch-all for questions that don't fit elsewhere. Humor is present as users joke about the crowded nature of the general discussion and the need for a forum dedicated to less serious content. Overall, the conversation emphasizes community support and the lighthearted nature of forum interactions.

You have two options. 1) If you really aren't at all sure where to put it, PM one of the mentors and ask them where the best place is for your question, or 2) Take your best guess of what you think it's most related to and if it's in the wrong place, the mentors will move it to the right place for you.
 
Good advice.
In this case, you can post the question right here, and I will help you figure out where it best belongs :smile:

Really- I'm SO not busy it's sad :redface:
 
Does this post belong in General Discussion?

I think this one wins, by process of elimination; the post doesn't fit in any other forum and this is general discussion. Pretty much a catch-all.
Where do you think it belongs?

It could qualify as feedback, but isn't really, so this seems just fine for a very general question. If it had been posted in any of the other fora, it probably would have gotten kicked over here anyway. It's good to see someone checking where to post before just putting their question in any random place. :approve:
 
Is greg still building the "Random, worthless things tribdog says and can be safely ignored by anyone sane and semi intelligent" forum? I know GD is getting a bit crowded with them.

I think I found just the forum for you:
http://myinsanity.proboards21.com/

Though, it doesn't look very active, you might get starved for attention there. :frown:

This is a gratuitous reply just to appease tribdog's need for attention. :smile:
