snydz.com forums

I've tried to have a serious discussion forum before @ snydz.com, and have seen such a thing implemented well on large forums. It can spawn some highly intelligent conversation, but you need a few smart people to keep things interesting, and good guidelines to keep the drivel out. If it isn't terribly active, the quality goes down and it begins to get pointless.

I think it could be done here, but I'd remove the News board, and split its threads between the General board and the Issues forum. Just look at the News forum: Some of the stuff is topical, humorous, and sometimes trivial, while other things, such as the 9-11 thread can spawn debate and serious thought. They don't really go together. Adding a new forum while keeping the News would damage both. Kill the News forum, and all the current events and humorous stories would end up here in this forum, and all the issues would go to their own home. That'd be nice.
