What are other forums you know, especially those similar to asif on their scientific focus?
I'm not biting this one, sorry, a dangerous topic, full of holes to fall into, good luck.
Just wanted to say this first instead of sounding smartassy after 
Fair enough, but why?
This topic, could end up in discussion pro and con other forums, which, depending on personal opinions and preferences COULD trigger discussions like they currently happen in the decorum thread, especially in case that various users would tend to defend their preferred forums that others find less good.
A little example would be that even though I am not using facebook but it's messenger because some who I esteem do. Now as it happens they send me facebook links to articles and videos of which perhaps 1 out of 20 I see worthy to share, with the result that some will immediately jump on the anti-facebook bandwagon and say that facebook is not a viable source. In fact in such cases, facebook is only a platform while the source can be youtube or any other kind of source but if the link is a facebook link they discard it with "comments"
Also and since I'm active in dozens of fora, mostly in the tech-world, almost any mention of another piece of similar software, OS, ROM or whathaveyou will end up in a dispute by some, free after the "motto" what they chose is best and everything else is mediocre.
How many Mercedes Benz drivers did we ever hear stating that BMWs are best?
Let me put it this way:
- I could be wrong
- If I'm wrong I will be happy because that would be a great thing.
So this is meant to make people aware of something and that in-itself sometimes helps to
avoid things happening, kind of a self-contradicting prophecy.
Let's see how it goes, I'll keep track and will gladly come back to admit once I see that I was wrong.
