Tech Threads in General section. Just from the last 5 pages I didnt want to go back too far. But I think the last date I looked at was around 11/11/07. They arent all just computer hardware etc, but they can be related to tech worthy questions/answers.

http://www.onrpg.com/boards/71311.html
http://www.onrpg.com/boards/71252.html

These are the threads, that I can remember, that have requested a tech forum in the past and never seen anything happen of it.

http://www.onrpg.com/boards/38447.html
http://www.onrpg.com/boards/36729.html

In conclusion, I would like to re-up the suggestion of setting up a general hardware section near the top of the forum where people can post things of a technological nature be it computer hardware upgrade suggestions, to news of the recent development of new cards, processors, computers, etc...

sounds good to me, you really have your facts down, I vote yes!

lothia · 11-14-2007, 05:02 AM

will bring this up with admins and mods.

Its been a little over a week since I posted this. Just wanted to know what the status is or what all has happened in regards to it.

lothia · 11-22-2007, 03:46 AM

Good question, topic was brough up, only one person responded, and said it was a good idea... then nothing. We would do a tech forum if anything but still same. Will bump up the topic in our forum.

This is a pretty good Idea :S

Shattered Skies · 11-23-2007, 01:24 PM

Just to reinforce this idea a little bit, I went back to around the 18th-19th (just the beginning of this week) and these are what I got:

http://www.onrpg.com/boards/72717.html
http://www.onrpg.com/boards/72666.html
http://www.onrpg.com/boards/72619.html
http://www.onrpg.com/boards/72655.html
http://www.onrpg.com/boards/72674.html
http://www.onrpg.com/boards/72558.html
http://www.onrpg.com/boards/72570.html
http://www.onrpg.com/boards/72520.html
http://www.onrpg.com/boards/72244.html
http://www.onrpg.com/boards/72172.html
http://www.onrpg.com/boards/72143.html

And these are just the ones that I would consider to be placed into a sub-forum of its own. I dont believe any of them are repeats of my original thread.

I think that if the forum were created, and the threads were moved into it as a starting base, then it would get a lot of activity as long as its able to be seen. Obviously at the bottom of the forum would make it a less active unless it was promoted for quite some time. Same could probably be said about the programming section.

Just because they're aren't 10+ threads a day about this doesn't suggest that its a topic thats talked about often and could give a lot of people some great advice when going to upgrade/buy/etc their computers or just questions in general.

It would also give a place for those that are tech knowledgeable and like to look at those type of threads/questions and be able to answer them without being lost in the pages of news and idiocracy that can be found often in General.

Besides, what kind of gaming forum and website doesn't have a section dedicated to computers, hardware, etc.?

Shattered Skies · 12-01-2007, 04:48 PM

I hate to double post on this topic but it has been a little over a week again, almost three weeks later since original posting, but again I wanted to know if anything has come of this?

I'm not going to back up my reasoning with links from the General section this time. I just woke up so I'm not really in the mood to find them this time.

So... anything new?

Good idea,

it seems that you bump this every few weeks and someone else says good idea and they do nothing with it... <.<

I still haven't seen any actual user-oriented creation of a forum...

I think it's because only a few people ever look down here, much post on this section at all. So there's not enough opinions about the subject, so the Admin can't really make it.

Oh, and about a hardware section, I agree, we should have one. I bet more people have questions about their hardware on this forum, just no where to put it (sometimes, the general just doesn't seem like a section for it, ya' know?).
