Idea For New Forum
I'd like to hear other's opinion on a possible new 2+2 forum. It would be called something like Help Me With This Problem. The idea would be to take advantage of the thousands of experts and all around smart people who come here. The original post would be required to be a request for help, advice, or the answer to a specific question, hopefully from people with expertise on the subject.
The argument against such a forum is that people are already engaged in seeking and getting help on many different subjects in the indiviual forums regarding those subjects. So maybe it would be counterproductive to lump together all types of requests for help. What do you think?

I remember when OOT (and any other "new" forum) was kind of laughed at, sort of a "novelty". Now we have "The Special Sklansky Forum" and Sklansky himself wants more novelty forums? Lol...do you see why?

Re: Idea For New Forum
I think this would involve quite a bit of overlap with other forums. For example, the "computer technical help" forum would be wholly a subset of this new forum by definition.
Also, I don't know if people with specific expertise would necessarily be interested in wading through this new forum looking for questions involving their particular subject. In the current format, those with specific areas of expertise are already participating in dialogues on forums related to those areas where they are both giving and getting. It seems unlikely to me that they would be willing to frequent this new forum where they are (more or less) only answering questions asked by the ignorant and not participating in same-level discussions with others.

I think the one new forum we need is health and fitness.

Health and Fitness does come to mind. The Psychology Forum covers a lot of ground. Math/Science/Philosophy covers most academic questions. Maybe Liberal Arts type questions like Literature? I don't know. Maybe if it were setup, questions might pop in that we can't forsee. Would the Forum Moderator be moving topics that already have specific Forums for them? Sounds like that might be a bit of a hassle. Who knows? It might be one of those, "If you build it they will come" kind of things. PairTheBoard
