Is there popular support for a new forum category HISTORY?

If this idea seems popular I propose we have a vote on it from Aug 1st to Aug 15th

I will also be separately proposing a new forum category CONSPIRACY THEORIES to be voted on during the same period if such an idea seems popular.

Makes no difference.

Just another category.

This post is already history....Let's discuss.

And the Earth is flat.....Oh no it isn't.

If the HISTORY is affecting today's society, then put it in the SOCIETY category.

If the HISTORY is basically only talking about what happened in the past and not about how it affects present nature, put it into SCIENCE AND NATURE category.

If the HISTORY is religious(e.g. whether Jesus' cross exists), put it into RELIGIONS category, same with other exclusive appeals.

Shall we request the creation of a new FORUM CATEGORY titled HISTORY ?
No,
I'd actually enjoy a history topic, but I don't think there's enough of a following of the topic to justify it's own category,
It never seemed to get used enough on DDO,
History can find it's place in other topics, politics, society, philosophy, technology, artistic, economics, misc. - so on.

Its funny that the suggestion of a HISTORY category garnered almost no interest and what little interest  there was proved negative but now in the voting stage, HISTORY seems far more popular.
