How come we don't have a sub-forum on charities? This seems surprising, considering it's ostensibly what we care about most by several orders of magnitude.

I think most of us will agree that charity is important, but I'm not sure everyone will think it the most important issue (over, for eg, animal welfare). And I don't think (feel free to prove me wrong) that it would generate enough discussion to merit its own subforum. (I've just closed the computing forum since, despite many of our posters seeming to have an interest in the subject, it wasn't seeing any activity)

That said, I think there might be some interest an applied ethics forum so I'll try creating one of those. If you want to create a charity evaluation thread in there I'll sticky it.

I don't know if I should make a new thread for this, but how about a non-ethics philosophy sub-forum?

that's a good idea. I think we should definitely get one. If there's no objection from Arepo, we just need a name and a <20 word description to create it.

My experience of philosophy forums is they tend to degenerate, but no harm in giving it a try (I'm hostelling in Europe at the moment, hence lack of involvement, but will be back and hopefully more active in a couple of days)
