Mike would disagree... he doesn't believe it is a philosophical discussion... he believe is rational explanation and logical preponderance of science... don't know why I end up in this thread... Oh yeah...!!! it was because of the "recent post" function... interesting...

I would like a Philosophy thread, because there's more to philosophy than just the existence of God. Although, I probably wouldn't be very helpful in it, because most of the time I'm just a 14-year-old who doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

I'd rather have only one thread, and have it be my "Philosophical discussion" thread, because that's that all this is with a better name.

No recent posts for that thread, I've noticed. Wonder why?

Where do I report that the search function isn't working right?

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

You can't put in JFF a topic that doesn't belong there.
Modify the "recent posts" function, limit it to the music sections, if possible.

I think that would be a good idea, I have seen the some of the general discussions fill up the recent posts list, depending on how active a thread is. I think it would be a good idea to exclude general discussions, since it is only one section and is relatively easy to keep track of threads within it.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Guys, no one wants to remove the threads altogether. As long as they remain civil, they can and should stay. The thing is, as both Alex and Pat pointed out, they show in the active threads, and there are times (like yesterday evening) in which you could hardly see anything else. After all, this is a MUSIC forum, and we don't want to run off any prospective new members.

I think the OP was complaining more about the fact that the thread title(s) dominate(s) the most recent posts - and that's something you can't ignore, really. But in fact the main "Atheist" thread is in the right place and an admin is participating (thus obviously monitoring).

I guess the only thing would be to hide the General Discussions topics from the recent posts list just as the topics in "Just for Fun" are.

Yep the General Discussion area is for exactly subjects like those. Subjects not related to music. Itīs a sensitive subject but rest assured the threads are being watched by admins and if anyone should step over the acceptable line action will be taken. Itīs one of the beauties of PA IMO. We discuss and are allowed to do so as long as we show respect for each other. Not many other forums are as strictly controlled when it comes to bad language and other unpleasant things. If itīs a subject that bothers you, just look the other way and donīt participate.

Last time I checked, they were in the "General Discussion' section, where you can 'talk about anything.' Personally, i think they're in the perfect place, and the Just For Fun section is certainly not a place to be talking about anything with any weight =)

Can someone move them all to the Just For Fun section, or leave them where they are but make them to not show up in the "Recent posts" area? Please. At this moment all new posts are from one particular thread; since when has this forum become of anything else but music?
