Due to a little thing that popped up in this thread an apparent problem has come up. The Theories forum has a lot of junk in it.
Most of the problem seems to stem the fact that people ask simple questions there which isn't exactly the purpose of the forum since the word theory means:
1. a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena: Einstein's theory of relativity.
2. a proposed explanation whose status is still conjectural, in contrast to well-established propositions that are regarded as reporting matters of actual fact.
3. Mathematics . a body of principles, theorems, or the like, belonging to one subject: number theory.
While questions maybe part of if talking about theories most of the threads are just simple questions.
So, to fix this I suggest some of the following.
1. All simple question threads get move to Discussion.
2. A Question subforum is added to Theories and it gets all moved there.
Theories Forum.

Another forum (or subforum) sounds like a good solution to me. Just gotta think of an inconfusable name for it.

Hmm...
Theories Section and Questions Section?
I dunno, naming forums isn't really my forte...

How about "Questions"? It is simple and to the point.

YOU CALL ME NERD IM DATING CHEERLADDER

What? How? If it is placed as a subforum under either theories or discussion there shouldn't be a problem. If it is given its own forum then maybe.

No. "Questions" could define just about every thread in the Theories forum.
What about "Wild Speculation" or simply "Speculation"? Alot of these threads are about posting possibilities individually rather than discussing them.

Speculation seems kind of like another name for the Theories forum to me. But, I don't have a better suggestion at the moment.

A theory is a proved hypothesis, it should be renamed to Hypothesises (I don't know the plural version of that word) Forum.
But that's just retarded so we need another subforum.
