Hello!

Am I being blind, as I can't see a science forum in the special interest section of the forums.

If there isn't one could one be opened up please?

Thankyou

Robin

I agree. Science is one of my two best subjects.

Not that I want to come off as an idea thief or anything, but I believe that Aspergian Island groups science, technology, and computers into a single folder. What do you think about this idea, dunc?

I know I'm not dunc, but thet makes sense to me. (Though computers fall under science, rather than teh other way round)

I'd love a Science forum, too.
If it was up to me though, I would keep "computers" as a separate forum. Computers (although interesting and 'scientific' as a topic) are a more specialised thing, and also more practical (we are all using computers after all) and maybe some people who are interested in science, and would like to discuss ideas in a more general way, would like to keep the two separate....so that if there are loads of new topics starting up all the time, you don't have to wade through pages just to see if there are new replies, say, to your particular interest! But thats just my feeling, perhaps other people won't agree.

I also think it would be a good idea to keep computers and science in seperate forums.
