The createBlog Health Forum

CreateBlog has always attracted threads that push the limit of the PG-13 guideline. Ergo, the push for a "Sex Forum", where all the threads previously in relationships, the boys' locker, and the girls' locker, would go; hopefully, with such a forum, the rest of createBlog would be kept relatively sex-free.

The "sex forum" was met with enthutiasm and skepticism. The mods were evenly divided. Would such a forum become a spamming ground for immature users? Various solutions, including age limits, were proposed, but there didn't appear to be a way to enforce them.

Finally, a compromise was reached: a "health" forum. Its name was chosen so that any sex related topics had to be about sexual health, meaning no threads about the other aspects of sex. The heath forum was then populated with threads concerting all apsects of health and let loose into interests, where all outcast threads seemingly go.

And so, between the food and homework forums in interests, createBlog users can now find the new health forum, where they can "discuss topics in health including conditions, sexual health, nutrition, etc."
