I raised this issue on SB before. If you see all the hot threads, almost none of them are related to defence. This is a defence forum right. Shouldn't we be discussing more about defence?
Yes we should. Now, name me one forum where pure defense is discussed. Not everybody is a defense consultant or a military professional.

Bharat Rakshak is a good example. They have completely separate forums for those things.

We have separate sections too. What's bothering you? Please be clear.

What I am saying is that most discussions on this forum are about topics not related to defence. Whenever I see the hot threads or the currently active threads most of them are not about defence. This is a defence forum and most discussions should be about defence. If people want to discuss other things, we should make completely separate forum for it and not just a different section.

Anyways this is only my personal opinion.

This has been discussed many times on this forum. Many posters who participate in religious and political threads also participate in defense related threads. So, it' a misnomer. Revenue is an important factor, as right now, as I know it, 1 guy bears the cost of this ever expanding forum. If defense enthusiasts come up with a plan to sponsor the needed revenue for the year, to keep this forum afloat, I'm sure your queries would be heeded. Until then, please go with it.

Err that's no reason. The site is run by revenues, donations etc.


This is a community driven site, it all depends on what members like to discuss.

Does that mean my request will be taken into consideration????

I believe you will find many members who will agree with me. After all, when I first found this forum, I was googling about defence and not politics.

Is it from a scientific journal? Which journal is it?

You might want to post the salient features, instead of posting the entire PDF. Check copyright constraints.

Its a working paper by Center for International Security & Arms Control. Its 26 pages long and contains a lots of diagrams. Thats why I want to upload it in its entirety. Do we have a repository where we can upload, index and then retrieve the documents for future references? Copyright is not a problem.

feedback - KUDOS to admin for revamping the "latest posts" format to include a couple of lines posted and also the idea of 30 min limit to edit is also a snazzy idea worth the experimentation ( btw im expecting at least a couple of likes from the admin members for this apple -polishing - heck it's not apple-p but a genuine compliment ) -- well done guys !

on second thoughts - i might say a bit more - tis forum is pretty good not only these days but inf fact it has been all along - i visited the pak def forum and it is PATHETIC - quality close to zero - a lot of graffitti and no real arguments some of the other forum(s) (fora) are hogged by the same old people -here it is fresh light and interesting - light but touches base ( oh ohhh ! not that ) - but that's to the members credit

i almost forgot to add that - getting rid of some of the nasty CHICOMS ( yay !!! ) has improved the quality of debate NO END ( by geting rid of the ugly personal mud-slinging ) there still are one or two misbehaving , but one or two is tolerable , i guess - special thanks to maybe LF ? lethal force ? for doing that - well all the rest of admin too ! thanks guys ...

your continual upgrading is appreciated but some of it may not be really necessary .....still it is v much appreciated - once again - well done ADMIN !!
