I think it should be a subforum of the pub. I mean what does it really have to do with Spirituality anyway?
Think about it.

Why would I not go there, I don't have a problem with it? I just think the pub is a better place for it since it doesn't have anything to do with spirituality and mysticism, and a lot of the threads are just ones that have been moved from the pub.

So all the things you're not interested in personally should be lumped into one area regardless of whether or not they have anything in common? That seems like a really autocratic perspective to me.
I don't really give a shit about the conspiracy forum either, but it does seem like it's in the wrong place.

I think they conspiracy forum goes will with the mystic forum. For some reason people who like one seem to like the other, and it makes sense to me - mysticism and conspiracy theories easily get intertwined.

State one example of that?
Even the forum name "conspiracy theories" is pejorative. Really, the admins would be more consistent with their unimaginative half-blind viewpoint to consolidate both "Spirituality and Mysticism" and "Conspiracy Theories' into a new forum called "Crackpots".
-------------------- "America: Fuck yeah!" -- Alexthegreat “Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day.” -- Thomas Jefferson The greatest sin of mankind is ignorance. The press takes [Trump] literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally. --Salena Zeto (9/23/16)

example of how mysticism and conspiracy theories get intertwined?
Consider the Norway spiral. The mystics believe it is a sign of some sort, they believe it has some meaning. The conspiracy theorists dont believe the official story and think there is a cover up. These two thoughts easily combine into a conspiracy to cover up the mystical sign.
If you were to take a survey of posting habits, Id be willing to bet you see a strong correlation between posting in mysticism forum and posting in the conspiracy forum.

I guess that the people who post in it really like to be insulted.
Of course, there's the possibility of this being only your opinion, but this is just too obvious.

I think I'd vote on replacing 'Conspiracy Theories' with a 'New World Order' forum separated from S&M to encompass all the related conspiracy stuff.

There's a conspiracy that keeps people from seeing the logic in that.

-------------------- novelty theory IS Novelty Theory IS No king, no government ever extended to the people more rights than the people insisted upon. And I think we've come to a place with this psychedelic issue. We have the gay community as a model, and all the other communities. We simply have to say, Look: LSD has been around for fifty years now, It ain't going away. WE are not going away. We are not slack-jawed, dazed, glazed, unemployable psychotic creeps. We are pillars of society. You can't do anything in culture without psychedelic people in key positions. And this is the great unspoken of American Creativity. So I think it's basically time to just come out of the closet and go, "You know what, I'm stoned, and I'm proud." Terence McKenna, True Hallucinations, 1993

Maybe it is a sub-forum of Spirituality & Mysticism (or whatever they call that forum these days) because spirituality and conspiracy theories both come with equal amounts of 'to-be-taken-seriouslyness'.

Though great techs are usually reductionists. At least they added a less biased forum description. It was probably Geo or Seuss.
