Hello all. I'm a new but quite active member here, who focuses attention on the science forums. I have a few observational suggestions I wanted to share.
1. The "other science" section currently incompasses Biology and Chemistry and other areas. Those two systems, along with Physics are considered the 3 fundamental areas of science. I personally would like to see them get there own sections equal in the tier to physics and math.
2. I noticed that a few LOGIC posts came up in the philosophy section. While indeed the two sometimes cross, LOGIC, and especially FORMAL LOGIC take a very mathematic approach, and thus I thought might deserve there own forum judging on how much attention they get.
3. All the catagories mentioned above exist, or would logically exist under the "all about science" section. I am confused as to why such catagories as "Mystics and PseudoScience", "Philosophy" and it's subcategory "Religion" are in this section. I think that, removing my personal opinions, these three areas certainly shouldn't be in the science tier! My suggestion would be that the "all about science" section should have a comparable "all about non-science" section which would thus be appropriate for all of these, and others.
4. As an add-on, there was a recent change in the Religion-Philosophy forums. I would think religion and philosophy are as separate as physics and cookies, and thus they should not be subdirectories of each other.
5. Currently under "general discussion" is politics and world affairs. I would say this too should be under "all about non-science".
6. Homework Help - I just thought this section was so cool. I doubt I'll need to use it as I alway look for answers myself! But this is nice.
Just a few observations, I don't think any of them are too controversial. Perhaps people can sound off if they agree, disagree or don't care. Glad to be here and hopefully overtime will become well known here!
Also, if any of these sections or others need assistance from a "mentor" I have enough time to be attentive.
