Prepare for trouble, test_account has tested the lab and made it DOUBLE.
You could argue that fitness, health and food are hobbies to some people, yet the Mall remains in place. Science is definitely much more than a hobby. Take a look at NASA for example, is that just a hobby? Nope! Science is an important job and profession for many, many people. I'd argue that it's much more of a profession that it is a hobby, really. For we wouldn't be here today without the important work of computer sciences. That's so much more than just a hobby.
I've already gotten a PM from a user who was interested in having one, and both me and Jordan agreed it was a stellar idea. We have more events to come in the near weeks/months, and AMAs are just a part of those events. They could be frequent or infrequent, depending on interest and if anybody approaches either myself or Team Fail in regards to doing one.For the AMA thing, I don't think we have enought interest or regulars to do it. Even in A&D these things die.
As long as the social aspect is not applied, then I really have no problem with housing discussions on the biological/behavioral side of psychology and/or psychiatry.where would the line be drawn on psychology threads? would I have to avoid the more social stuff entirely (since that is more crossed with sociology) and post the more psychodynamic, behavioural, biological stuff here? I'm just super interested in this and don't see why it wouldn't go here.
Just wondering, but what makes you say that? Weather is related to science in that meteorology is the study of weather, which is an area of science.I welcome anything to incite new activity, anyway. Weather chat is pretty much... a bad thing (tm).

Well, this is still very much C&T like it used to be, but with more topics to go alongside it. I'm sorry if you don't see it this way, but that's how Jordan and myself envisioned it when we were redesigning the section. :)It's also an indicator of "got nothing really useful to talk about" even if we're supposed to be science-y.

By the way, I want to remind you guys that we do have the feedback thread here for posts like these.
Right now, we're looking for feedback to see what everyone thinks of the section in the two months that it'd been revamped. Things such as what you would like to see in the section and how you think we (as moderators) are doing in the section, and what we could do to improve the section's flow are what we would like to hear.Well not everyone is a scientist either :p Anyway, it does seem kinda hard to appeal to everyone with an event, there's gotta be something though. That being said, I think this section has improved a lot anyway, events or such are not a desperate measure. Did you wanted feedback in a particular sense when you asked? I see a tiny improvement, right now I can't think of something that would help.
I agree to a point, but... This is your personal preference, focusing on one aspect to lose activity on the other side might not be the correct answer. You made good points though, but I believe every kind of discussion should be encouraged.
If you're not happy with the content that you're seeing here, why not try to make some yourself?
We're not seeing it as a negative thing at all. We do understand that this is an off-topic section and that we're not always going to be busy and bustling. And most of all, technology and science isn't everyone's niche. We're trying to make an attempt to cater to more people that may not always be into sciences, hence the simple polls, but for the people that look around, they might get inspired by the discussions that we do have.
You can't start off catching the big fish. You have to start small and work your way up. There's no way around it.
