I dunno (sorry about wrong forum) but I noticed we have four "closed" forums so If we could find a new use that could be a good name

It's better, when considering new forums, to take a look at the threads that are forming and generating interest, and generate the subforums to conform to those. For example, if you have ten or more active threads on sports topics, go ahead and make a subforum for sports. If nobody is posting threads asking if being is knowing, then it's a waste of time to create a subforum dedicated to ontological empiricism. Making subforums to generate interest, rather than using them to cater to existing interest, is a hit or miss proposition that winds up being mostly miss. The notable exception to this was the boys and girls forums (personally, I thought they'd flub, but they really seem to have hit a niche).
The whole subforum issue was the subject of a (very contentious) debate here that led to the closed forums you see today. I'd say unless there's a real blockbuster of an idea (like the boys and girls forums) or you can see a clear pattern emerging in the general board, it's probably not worth it open up those closed boards.

No use. Pluse I'm about to do some major cleaning in a few forums.
