Science has to share one with Paris Hilton?
Gentlemen, (and Lady) we need a Science Forum.
It's been my observation that General/Chat is where real news goes to die. People who thirst for substantive news simply don't go there because of all the Paris Hilton crap.
May I suggest that we consider adding a Science/Technoloy forum?
FR is a political discussion board, so there are multiple subboards which are specialized; all non-political stuff goes in Chat or Blogs. :’) I wouldn’t mind Science forum, but I’d really love to see a ghetto for the Gossip topics first.

I’m sure you know about this, but for all who haven’t tried it or don’t know:
