Question, how does this differ from the IE forum?
To me this just looks like a more chilled IE forum. Haha. ------------------- | |

I'll admit it's loosely defined.
Academia's emphasis is more on solid facts and learning about them (as well as schooling, etc.) whereas I.E. tends to be more concerned with the blurred lines, opinions and philosophical discussions. ------------------- ![]() Credit to Willow Vampire <3 (+11.2) | |

Well I think we should have a footer contest as well as a header one, I think that could perk up the forum.

I know I haven't actually be in the forum much, but why did the name have to change from 'Education' to 'Academia'?
Or better question why change it at all. Now I have no clue what Academia means, although I can see it closely resemble Academics, but I personally don't really see the need to change it. Education, or Education forum was probably best suited imo. Also Neoseeker isn't much of a democracy, so I don't see what you mean by that response P_L. TBH i agree with Unity post. But obviously its unrealistic to change it now, again. Most people will not like everything that comes out, but I just didn't see the real need for the change. ------------------- Welcome to Crisis Core forum Welcome to Bad Company 2 God of War 3 official forum community | |

quote Lorx quote TheViperXThat will probably be in the cards eventually, for the time being it's not a priority though, I don't think. quote Final BladeIn accordance with earlier discussion in this thread, many felt that the name 'Education' simply gave newcomers the wrong impression. This forum isn't just for discussing school and university, and we felt that a change in name would completely alter the first impression given by the forum. You may or may not have seen the thread about the name change, but Sphinx suggested Academia and it was shown the most support along with 'Pursuit of Knowledge' (hence my democracy comment), thus these were the names submitted to Red and Academia was chosen as the new name. I'm sorry if you felt the name change was unnecessary, but many people felt it was - myself included. So yep, you're stuck with it. ------------------- ![]() Credit to Willow Vampire <3 (+11.2) | |

I am considering writing another commentary piece, but I'm not 100% sure what subject to choose. I like to write items like my Iran piece because it makes me think a bit more and sort of confound the base knowledge I have by doing some proper research. I'd like to cover modern propaganda, but I don't know if anyone would be interested in that.

I really enjoyed your bit on Iran because to be honest I hadn't a clue, I just presumed that what I read in the western media was true. So yea, I'd be interested.

quote Superfast OzI'd sure as hell read it. Nice CT btw. quote UnityMaybe, but that's not all bad. It sort of sets the tone for the forum in that we expect behaviour of something of a higher calibre than you might expect elsewhere. It won't be everyone's thing, but I think it's certainly preferable to thinking that you're only allowed to talk about school. ------------------- ![]() Credit to Willow Vampire <3 (+11.2) | |

re: Forum Suggestions and Feedback |

OK with people disliking the new name and such I'd just like to say this,
quote Praetorian_LordPL is right, I stumbled here when it had undergone it's name change and if the forum still said "Education" I still would've come in here but in a different frame of mind as to when I did come in here when it said "Acadamia". If it had said "Education" I would've expected it to be about schooling, while "Academia" give the impression of a discussion about general knowledge. I'm TheViperX and that's my two cents. ------------------- ![]() | |

Got a question to ask you PL. Reckon it'd be feasible to set up an abiogenesis thread, you know, like improving general knowledge of it and having some debate as to its credibility and whatnot? My one issue is it might be considered by some to be on par with the Evolution thread in IE despite their being two completely different theories and all...
Oh, and not suggesting you do this, more asking for permission to do so. ------------------- | |

re: Forum Suggestions and Feedback |

The thread would be fine provided that it were based in fact rather than in conjecture. As you say, it should aim to teach and discuss facts rather than opinions and what may or may not be the case.
For instance, you could have a sentence or brief paragraph stating that abiogenesis is a theory, and the thread is designed to discuss the facts of the theory as such, rather than discussing whether we should or shouldn't accept the theory. THAT's more the realm of I.E. But sure, if it were to meet those criteria, I wouldn't see a problem with it. I'd at least initially have to keep a reasonably close eye on it though, as I'm sure you can understand. ------------------- ![]() Credit to Willow Vampire <3 (+11.2) | |
