Another forum?
 
Now that change has come around, how bouts that computer forum? Seriously I think it would get used a lot more than the restoration section. Could be modded by the people who are more tech savvy

ib4200 11-19-2009 02:07 PM

no difference to me :shrug:

JW 11-19-2009 02:39 PM

You want to have a computer forum on a car site?

JW :D

PolarBear 11-19-2009 02:41 PM

Why not? There is a lounge and a basement and a multimedia and a restoration forum. Cars DO have computers in them and people are always askin about them and how to fix them. It is a logical next step :lol:

LTb1ow 11-19-2009 02:47 PM

Isn't this a car forum? :mrgreen:

It would be cool I suppose.

PolarBear 11-19-2009 02:55 PM

People are coming from all over to BS about BS and there is little contribution to the tech forums (relative terms) and I was told conflicting things about the "spirit of the club" i.e. F-body or car related. People are asking for help HERE for other issues, so it is not really a car forum anymore. I am thinking about the people asking for help. If there was a computer help form I may be able to help more or give my opinion more. I dont go into the tech areas all that much because I have little to contribute in them. I am on the other hand computer knowledgeable and can contribute there.
I dont always have time to look through the posts in the Lounge area and some times I see something pass that I could have helped with.

JW 11-19-2009 02:56 PM

Yea but you are referring to home computers aren't you? If so then I think it makes no sense.

The lounge is where basically all general run of the mill talk goes on. The basement is for power members, and the multimedia and a restoration sections actually apply to cars...

I would say just keep your general computer questions in the Lounge, if they are car related like PCM tuning or such then they would be posted in Engine/Power/Tuning section.

JW :D

JW 11-19-2009 02:57 PM

I would say if you are that desperate to help with peoples computer problems... another computer support website might interest you more for that.

JW :D

sweetbmxrider 11-19-2009 03:17 PM

maybe a little computer symbol for a computer thread, easy to find!

LTb1ow 11-19-2009 03:21 PM

Why not like a "hobby" section, not just for PC help but a section more serious than the lounge but for off topic hobby help etc.

79CamaroDiva 11-19-2009 03:28 PM

I would be ok with a computer/gaming forum. Nastyz has something like that and it seems to work well.

JW 11-19-2009 03:36 PM

I am rebelling against this request! Bah!

JW :D

I tend to lean towards these ideas. A bit broader.

sweetbmxrider 11-19-2009 03:56 PM

"Other Tech" or "Non-Automotive Tech" section?

I'd rather a craigs list/ebay forum. Maybe one you can't reply to.

Absolutely. You and I talked of this before. :mrgreen:

sweetbmxrider 11-19-2009 07:30 PM

what, so you just post random links you fine that could turn into scams/bs? i hope you give someone power to just run wild through that section 24/7 cleaning up bs/deadlinks.

would be nice though :)

LTb1ow 11-19-2009 07:38 PM

I volunteer. I haz big banhamma.

BonzoHansen 11-19-2009 07:44 PM

Ha ha, no.

Hmm...ebay & craiglist...maybe power members only....

When I see a carb sticking out of the carbon fiber hood, I'll think about a computer section... DEAL?

Otherwise, I vote no computer section.
