new forum: the bit bucket

There seems to be an awful lot of tech talk around t.d.n/o lately, so it seems appropriate to segregate that into a place for people to stand around and talk shop, so to speak.

Therefore, I propose an addition to the "Interact" section, aptly called, "The Bit Bucket."

Thoughts?

Re: new forum: the bit bucket

Couldn't that be done in reviews ie. reviewing a product/discussing its merits?

It's like having a seperate forum for smut talk only.

Re: new forum: the bit bucket

I dunno if it deserves its own forum, but wouldn't worry me none.

Re: new forum: the bit bucket

I don't think we should be so welcoming of people that want to discuss that sort of stuff.

Re: new forum: the bit bucket

Let's not subdivide this place anymore. We have too many specific sections as it is.

and yeah, I agree with dl. It doesn't seem prominent enough to me to deserve its own forum.

Re: new forum: the bit bucket

I don't think it would work with our current forum hierarchy. In a different universe, i would find this idea (with a different name, maybe) agreeable.

Re: new forum: the bit bucket

I think its a very good idea and that it would fit in perfectly.... who cares about how many sub-sections we have? I've seen forums develop large and fantastic communities just by splitting into subsections. And hell, we've got the "Spirituality and Philosophy", that seems like it would be on the same level as a "Tech" forum. People would finally have one place to bug Chris about computer problems. But this post is too long so I'm gonna end it on this example of a great forum with a million subsections... http://forums.offtopic.com/

I can't believe I never answered this question. Wow.

It would include iPod questions, general computing questions, and other tech-related banter that doesn't quite fit into the "Reviews" heading but is sprinkled enough throughout this place to be readily noticable.

Re: new forum: the bit bucket

I remain open to the idea, just so long as we agree that I won't be going in this sub-forum or even interacting with its users.

You're right, we should call it l337 sp34k, and it should filter everything into l337 and all profanities into n00b.

Re: new forum: the bit bucket

If this forum happens I would whore it up so hard.

I think a tech sub-forum is a great idea!

Give it a shot. If it ends up sucking or not being used then all the threads can be moved to the bin and the forum closed.

I just assumed that you considered my limited technology knowledge to be such a handicap in this thread that I wasn't worth responding to :(

I really think there is more tech talk than sports talk.
