dividing boards into separate topics?

Okay, under the Safe Haven board there's the Religion and Gay boards. Why are they under the Save Haven board topic and not separate boards of their own. I think you should put the religion board and gay board in the board listings as boards of their own and not hide them under the Save Haven category.

this is what i think, and anyone feel free to correct me.

the safe haven board is for people that don't like the bashing and the drama that's starting on other boards. so, the reason why religion and the gay boards are under there, is so that people can feel safe posting what ever it is they need to talk about, with out someone coming along and totally bashing them. religion and gay boards contain topics that are private to the individual. now, i could argue that health and wellness can be personal sometimes, but it's really not the same as posting on the let's talk board for instance, hey... i'm gay. what do you guys think?

at least with the health board, people can give practical advice and people don't feel embarrased as much as they would if they, as i said, earlier addmitted to being gay in a bashing board.

That is precisely why they are under safe haven. Free speech is pretty highly prized and protected around here, but in limmitted areas, we believe that you really should have a safe area to talk about certain topics, without the fear of bashing, or people that can't even be brought to have a tolerant debate. Hope that makes sense.

That makes perfect sense, and is a good idea.
