| Scripters used to allow this, however the new forum rules make it only for Lua scripting. Anything else gets deleted by Sorcus. |

| Yes because math and science cannot be a discussion in off topic. |

Posting anything serious in OT will either a) be ignored b) get non-serious replies (this is generally what happens) |

| So you think that it will vary in each forum? |

Because no one enjoys talking about math or science, when they don't have to. No support

I agree. Also, Scripters should be renamed to "Computer Science", so we could post any CS related stuff. We already do that, but every now and then a mod will come along and lock non-Lua threads. It isn't common, but it is enough to annoy people.

I know it does. Scripters used to welcome it, and we had some great discussions. I have an example from a few days ago, however the one in Scripters got deleted, and the other is lost somewhere in the sea of pointlessness that is OT.
"Because no one enjoys talking about math or science, when they don't have to."
Actually, a lot of people do. Your opinion cannot be cast on the entire ROBLOX community as a whole. |

@Viver Math is more on the fence, but in terms of science, there are two types of people in this world. Those who love science, and those who hate it. There is rarely any in between. Obviously you are on the hate side, and I won't bother starting a flame war about it despite my urge to, but there are plenty of people who are on the love side. Besides, Roblox is meant to be an educational game anyways. Why not educational subforums?

| The only reason you could have could discussions in scripters is because when 11 year old kids see scripters they say "hey lets troll all the people in RT instead of that lame forum cus u no yolo" but when they see math/science "lol time to troll these kids with swag by saying 2+2=1" |

| @Mr: No, we get quite a few trolls/idiots in Scripters, however we have lots of moderation and Scripters generally doesn't eat the troll bait. This would be the case with this new forum. |

Good idea, we can use our unlimited amount of moderators! |

"b) get non-serious replies (this is generally what happens)"
Then it will most likely have non-serious replies it in this forum. |

| Others are correct that we allow math/science topics on OT, but if there's enough interest for a separate forum we definitely want to hear about it! |

"there are two types of people in this world. Those who love science, and those who hate it. There is rarely any in between." How do you know what everyone likes? I guess I have a rare opinion of science, then.
"Because no one enjoys talking about math or science, when they don't have to." Well, SOME people do. -_-
"Posting anything serious in OT will either a) be ignored b) get non-serious replies (this is generally what happens)" Not all OTers are stupid, you know; you can't count them as a whole. I hate people who do that.

| @Master: Can you post a 1 week sticky in Scripters and Scripting Helpers asking about it, there's a lot of demand for one there. |

I can imagine it now.
"Roblox-Helping give homework and test answers to kids since 2012"<-Seems right. |

Yummy: There's no problem with asking for HELP on a specific problem or type of problems (for example, how do I factor a quadratic function?). The problem of cheating arises when you get someone posting their homework and asking for someone to do it for them. We occasionally (or used to, now these threads get deleted) get threads about theoretical physics, etc. Having conversations about things discussed in school, and more advanced topics that aren't covered in most schools helps cement these ideas. |
