Should food-related threads be split from Cafe Society?

Just a personal opinion but I always find it strange to have food and culinary threads in Cafe Society. Would it not be preferable to have a forum just for cooking related threads and another for media related threads (tv/movies/books etc)

Just an idea! :slight_smile:

You expect there to be no food discussed in a board that includes the word “Cafe”?

Sounds like someone who goes to a restaurant just to use the free WiFi but gets annoyed at the lack of an empty table because everyone is eating.

No… it’s fine the way it is!

I like food & gardening in CS.

I think food should remain in the Cafe, as well. Cooking is a human art, and consuming it is usually part of that process.

Don’t discussions about nutrition, famine and GMO food go in GQ and Great Debates, while discussions about preparing and enjoying it go in Cafe?

I just find it an odd combination of subjects, but as I said its a personal opinion.

I (A) think we have enough forums and (B) think the way they are shared in the various forums depending on exact content and intent works pretty well.

If we were playing poker, I’d suggest you fold.

Giraffe Boards has a whole forum dedicated to Soup, if that’s your thing.

Well I’ll certainly not express my opinion or suggestions about this board again, given the level of snarky replies.

If we’re taking a vote, I vote we not take a vote.

These are snarky replies? Have you ever read a newbies “welcome me to this board” thread?

I believe the Board Sachems like to encourage intermixing of different, yet compatible, topics, in order to foster serendipity of stumbling across threads that you were not looking for but end up enjoying. It also helps to avoid just becoming a database of information, of which there are already plenty.

You’ve been here coming on six years and never noticed this before? I think the snark X Y graph is a parabola. For newbies it’s rite of passage to see if they will pass muster. It then tapers off for a couple of years then picks up again the longer you are here, just because you should already know.

:smiley:

Are you being sarcastic here? I could understand if your join date was today, but, well, if you weren’t being sarcastic, then you should have been.

Oh, please. You don’t think it’s kind of funny that you don’t want food related threads in a form called "Cafe Society? Have you had your sense of humor checked by a professional lately?

Poker? Here, let me move this to the Games forum.

Nicely done, gentle[del]men[/del]people.
