We propose the placement of the Biblical Studies Survey on Academic Biblical Reddit - a move from the open thread to the main one. Such relocation would allow a wider range of users to engage, fostering increased diversity and inclusivity in the community discussions. The main thread has significant reach, evident from Reddit's Insights for users who read the main thread compared to the open thread.

Moreover, we call to directly connect this survey with an upcoming virtual conference/event hosted and created by Thesmartfool. This event, promising contributions from over 25 esteemed scholars expert in the field, would immeasurably enrich the discussion around the survey topics for the subreddit and the overall online community. Attendees would get a unique opportunity to interact with these scholars through presentations, discussions, and AMAs (Ask Me Anything sessions), thereby benefiting immensely from their knowledge and insights. Furthermore, this survey will greatly benefit our knowledge of where this sub's views stand on.

This change would not only further Reddit's mission to provide a platform for community and connection, but also promote scholarly discourse and knowledge dissemination. Ultimately, this move will benefit not only Reddit users but also online communities at large. Please support this proposition and call on the moderator's to allow TheSmartfool to lead and implement this event. I agree with TheSmartfool with leading this online event.
