Statistics cannot be false, only the inferences made by them.
This forum is useless now.

Sure they can. 97% of all Ron Paul supporters are Truthers. <---- False statistic
the problem with this moving...is that usually there is 1 subforum that EVERYONE goes to...yes there are subforums where people can discuss specific things...but if you want to get everyone's attention you post in the main forum.
I can say frankly that almost 99% of my time was spent in the main forum. Yes I would have looked at strategies for success or media matters once in a while...but the bulk of my time was spent in the main forum. Why? Because like someone mentioned ....I don't have the time to go through 50 different subforums nitpicking the news.
And yes other forums move some wrongly categorized stuff...but its never as bad as what happened today...and usually it happens when someting is blatantly miscategorized.(not the case here)
Move it back the way it was, and stop messing with whats popular.

Closing the thread
Okay, this is just silly now and degenerating to personal slights.
If one has suggestions on how to reorganize the forum--their is no "going back" to the "one main forum" that never existed--follow Josh's thread. Josh and Bryan were discussing with us how to rearrange and improve the forum before they went to Iowa. If nothing else, it's good that people have learned about some of the exisiting cool features on the site such as "new posts" etc.
We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.
[Oh, and most Ron Paul supporters are not truthers based on volunteering at HQ answering emails and calls and letters and regular conversations with campaign and Congressional staffers.]

No that is a false statement not a false statistic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistic
A statistic (singular) is the result of applying a function (statistical algorithm) to a set of data.
A statistic is an observable random variable, which differentiates it from a parameter, an unobservable quantity describing a property of a statistical population
