    It is in Soc, which is a serious Category for reasoned subjects. Conspiracy theories are ludicrous and unreasoned. I propose it should be moved to the Rec Category, where it is more appropriate.

    The only possible recreation from it would come from taking the piss out of most of the threads which is clearly not allowed, and proper order too, so it should not be in the Rec category imo.

    Conspiracy Theories are serious business to those that believe or discuss them, thus it should stay in Soc imo.

    Jesus Nipplenuts, is it really that much of an issue?

    Probably not, but it's a laugh though, and not a serious forum?

    Hmmm, as are Paranormal, yet it's in Rec.....

    Ever since Jim Corr got involved they carry a lot more weight with me. His data on 9/11 is undeniable. Moving it to Rec isn't a bad idea though.

    What makes a theory that someone has about conspiracies any less serious than a theory someone has about politics, it's all theory until it's put into practice

    imo, the forum gets a bad rap from those that don't even use it, it's not difficult to ignore a forum if you've no interest in it

    Even regulars of the forum are often uninterested in anything people have to say, and shoot people down just for expressing an opinion..

    it may not be as serious as other forums, but if it's there it may as well be used for it's intended purpose

    we fought long and hard to be moved from Hosted to Soc.

    I'm really sorry that you dont seem to appreciate the seriousness of the business being conducted in the CT Forum, but its done on your behalf, without us Shapeshifting Lizzards would eat your babies and make you vote again and again in EU referenda until they get the result THEY want, oh yeah, nevermind, just hide your babies OK.


    Many people would like to discuss CT, but as long as the attitude of the OP prevails amongst posters here on Boards then the NWO have won, rather than belittling us how about you have a look at the things that are being said and examine the details, then come back and join in the debate, you might find that you agree with us, you might find that you agree with the serial Trolls, but at the least you might find something out for yourself
