    Hi,

    I have noticed that there are lot of forums tagged with a specific subject (marketing, business, general chat, politics and religion e.t.c), but there is none for health. I am an health expert, and I can tell you that it is a subject that affects everyone. I could go ahead and open a thread on any health matter in General Chat forum, but I think it will trivialize it.

    Please can anything be done?

    And if there is already, can someone kindly direct me there?

    Thanks.

    Anyway you can post it under general chat if its some kind of health tips.

    DON.

    It's not needed. General Chat forum fits your needs just fine, I believe. :)

    Actually, since a lot of people here run health related sites (good niche for ads, apparently), it could be a useful resource. Would obviously need an active moderator to prevent spam though.

    I completely agree with you "subdivision", you saw my point exactly. There are many of us that specializes in health related sites. I wish someone will forward the idea to Shawn's desk. As long as there will be a moderator to prevent spamming, the Health forum on DP will be a valuable and resource-yielding one.

    Admin checks this section often so he will see this thread, but the question is will he be bothered? I don't think it's necessary and neither do a lot of other members, I just don't think it would be active enough to warrant a separate section for it. :(

    Why won't he be bothered? If few of you are not, that doesn't mean others aren't. As a matter of fact a whole lot of others on DP (Read "subdivision's post). Please, nobody should discourage the Admin. This is a public forum that is channeled towards various objectives; objectives that I find at times trivial when compared to health and well-being. I believe strongly that the forum will be meaningful, resourceful and uplifting for DP's image. It will also invite many people that are yet to be members to DP. I totally vote for a health forum on DP.

    I didn't say he won't be bothered, I said will he? What is the honest need for a Health forum? Anything like that can be posted in General Chat to be discussed there. :)

    I volunteer to be the moderator of Health Forum if it is created. I have a Degree (D.V.M--Doctor of veterinary Medicine) in Veterinary Medicine, and MSc Public Health in view. I can send scanned copies of my certificate to prove it. But I am new on DP, so I know I must have imbibed the rules and regulations well enough to enforce them. I will definitely imbibe them soon. If no one wants to be in charge of informing DP members about healthy living lifestyle, health issues,health news and other related matters; I, Taofeeq, is very much willing.

    Some have argued that it is a topic that could be discussed under General Chat. I completely disagree.First, General chat has been completely trivialized by . . . trivial topics. Secondly, why create a forum for Facebook, vbullettin (whatever that is), entertainment and Phones, when there are no forums for health. Remember that we are all here for the earnings, and a wise man once told me that health is wealth.

    So, I reiterate that there is need for a health forum on DP.

    If the Health forum was ever made, it would be Moderated by the current Moderation team that are in place, but I myself just cannot see the need for it. :p

    I don't appreciate you sticking your tongue out to me like that.

    Biggy Bop, there is a lot you do not know about your own health I can teach you. There are several information about well-being that will help anybody that cares to be informed. For instance, do you know that the increasing rate of germs becoming resistant to antibiotics will take us back--sooner than later--to the time when the average life span was not more than 44 yrs old?

    I can go on and on, but this is a forum for suggestions and feedbacks, it is not for health. I beg everybody to throw away the cloak of ignorance that blinds them and step into the light where information about health and well-being is paramount. A lot of people on DP are already into health stuffs. So, it won't be an inert forum, it will be very much active.

    If you believe that it will be active, then I don't see a reason why it can't be trialled. I'm just saying now, before anything is decided, that I don't think it would work.

    Just like every other topic we have, it will be created when there are enough existing topics to warrant it.
