tl;dr: alternatively Technology and Science.
Would accomplish:
-establishing culture of higher quality discussion
-creating space for expression of serious and intelligent thought
Hello and thank you for taking your time,
it is my impression that GBAtemp is a community of high IQ people (on average), alot of them being quite crafty, when it comes to hardware as well as software. In alot of discussion I had I was asked to provide scientific studies or was confronted with such. There seems to be a curiosity for knowledge in amoung tempers, I would argue you don't see in alot of other communities.
Now, I understand that the politics section was made to contain certain types of discussions and keep the forum nice and tidy. From this perspective there is no need for a Science and History section. I do however feel, that having such a section does raise the quality of discourse all across the board, because it has the potential to cultivate a stronger sense of proper discourse amoung a subsection of the userbase, and that would wear off on other sections as well.
With so much curiosity and brainpower amoung tempers this seems to me like a suggestion that deserves consideration.
How do you feel about this?
